E. O. Lovett Elementary School has been designed to provide students and staff a contemporary educational facility that is easy to navigate. The healthy indoor environment features strong natural daylighting for better learning and eco-friendly materials for durability and ease of maintenance, superior technology to keep up with changing demands, and a safe and secure campus. Housing 750 students, the school has a two-story classroom wing with pre-K through secnd grade on the first floor and third through fifth grade on the second floor. As a Magnet School for the Arts, the school has an exceptional music department and an award-winning band program. One of the school’s standout features is the band classroom with an operable exterior glass wall that opens completely to the front yard for outdoor performances and assemblies under the covered court. The band can use their classroom space and the stage for large group rehearsals or performances by opening the moveable partition wall that separates the two spaces. The dining space opens to the performance space as well, allowing the room to double as an auditorium. This feature extends the capabilities of the room beyond students and teachers to become an event facility for the community. The school is flooded throughout with an abundance of natural light. The library receives natural light through the use of clerestory glazing. All classrooms and learning spaces benefit from natural light and views to the outdoors. The health of students and teachers is enhanced via connections between the indoors and the outdoors.
