Lower School The challenge facing RMJM Hillier, the architect of the Lower School, was a great one: to design a nurturing environment that could also house the largest unit of the school and to create common spaces that would suit the needs of a preschooler as well as those of a fifth grader. The task was to design a place where seven classes of children from two Episcopal campuses would come together and become one. In answer, the architect created a building that is divided into developmentally appropriate pods or modules of classrooms. The design also includes communal spaces that permit the Lower School to come together as a unit when appropriate. Each of the Lower School’s classrooms is outfitted with computers and audiovisual capabilities. The youngest students’ classrooms also contain individual restrooms and banks of cubbies, enhancing the students’ security and comfort. All students have access to the communal venues in the building, most notably the Multipurpose Room, which is used for chapel, gym, and drama performances. In addition, The M. Turner Family Library provides two separate reading nooks, one designed to meet the needs of the youngest students, and another designed with older classes in mind. Two outdoor community-built playgrounds have been constructed to provide safe play areas for Episcopal’s youngest students. 14
Middle School The Middle School houses the sixth through eighth grades and was designed to provide a comfortable transition from the embrace of Lower School life and the rigors of Upper School study. The stone exterior of the building faces the morning drop-off circle and is etched with the values that are associated with the stripes on Episcopal’s school sweater — Self Control, Faith, Honesty, Courtesy, Kindness, Generosity, Gratitude, Courage, Respect, and Sportsmanship. The building was designed by RMJM Hillier and houses 22 dual purpose classrooms, each serving as both homeroom and primary classroom. All classrooms are outfitted with flat screen plasma televisions and access to both the wireless network and the community video library. The corridors of the Middle School provide ample space to display student work, reminding visitors of the multi-media nature of the Episcopal Middle School experience. Perhaps the most striking and useful space in the Middle School is the formal, two-story hall, whose walls of windows open onto the campus green and provide ample natural light. The study hall can accommodate the entire Middle School for meetings and is frequently used for private study or for gatherings hosted by other units of the school. 15
