An inviting and supportive space for students

As part of a reshuffle on Valley Christian School’s middle and high school campus, the former 7,000-square-foot library was renovated into a new Counseling Center. The school needed a comfortable, inviting space with a mix of both private and open areas. The team designed common lounges for gathering before and after meetings and private offices large enough to meet with both parents and students. To create a welcoming environment, hall walls were jogged instead of straight, soft tones were selected for paint and materials, and modern LED lighting was used.

I had the pleasure of working with Topa Architecture on private and public property projects that serve surrounding communities. They had a mindful, informative and timely approach to navigating the City approvals process and worked with our team to fit within our budget and timeline. They patiently collaborated with us and our contractors to answer questions, resolve issues and transform our wish list into thoughtful spatial solutions for meaningful interaction in public space.
