 Blue Valley District Campus Office Building This academic workplace environment for the Blue Valley Unified School District, one of Kansas’ top school systems, supports the district in its mission to deliver quality education. The building accommodates four district departments: Planning and Facilities, Safety and Security, Food Services and IT Services. The design promotes user comfort, energy reduction and sustainable site strategies. The perimeter is a high performing building envelope that allows desirable daylight to permeate the interior spaces, yet rejects unwanted glare and heat through exterior shading mechanisms. In addition, the underfloor air delivery system with user controls maximizes energy efficiency. Organized around a two-story atrium, the building features 9,500 square feet of open office space, private offices, conference rooms and the district’s central data system. Clerestory glazing brings light deep into the internal office space. | Blue Valley District Campus Office Building |
