SchenkelShultz Designs School District of Indian River County's Innovative $36.9M, 167,500-SF North County Middle School "BB" in Vero Beach, FL

VERO BEACH, FL – SchenkelShultz Architecture, West Palm Beach, one of Florida’s leading green designers, designed the School District of Indian River County’s innovative new $36.9 million, 167,500-square-foot North County Middle School “BB” now under construction in Vero Beach, FL.

Designed to meet the LEED® for Schools Gold Criteria established by the U.S. Green Building Council, the project incorporates the “school within a school” concept with each grade level housed in a separate classroom building to create small learning communities.

The facility will utilize the concept of the 3D classroom which will feature student-controlled classroom lighting, recycling programs, and indoor air quality controls.

The 1,329 student station middle school will reflect a modern Florida Cracker architectural style and will contain: a dramatic two-story entrance allowing natural light to filter to the administration spaces; a secure central courtyard with two-story walkways connecting the academic buildings;

A one-story cafeteria, administration, media and gymnasium building which will allow after-hours use by the community; a 9,000-square-foot dining/multi-purpose space with black box theatre; a covered outdoor dining area to accommodate 300 students and staff; flexible student learning centers with nine science labs; as well as vocational labs including business, art and technology.
