Plans_First

These are plans for a Catholic Elementary School. It has several classes, chapel. auditorium, cafeteria, offices, library, etc.
Pic 1: Its the first floor, it consists of the Cafe, and general offices.
Pic 2: Its the second floor, its mostly for the Gymnasium. It has locker rooms, and bigger bathrooms then the rest of the floors.
Pic 3: The 3rd floor consists of the library and computer rooms. Since there aren't as many students and also since they are young, they don't need as many computer rooms. The library is both indoor and outdoor.
Pic 4: The 4th floor is mostly classrooms, and Auditorium. There are also group classrooms.
Pic 5: 5th floor is the chapel, the layout is still in works. But the whole space goes to making the chapel. And the outside is a roof garden.
Pic 6: Shows the building shape without the roof. The image below shows the shape of the roof.

End Product

• Play with solid And Void as well as pushing and pulling. Starts off with columns and goes to glass walls on the second floor and to a roof garden right outside the chapel.
  

New massing

It fits well on the Manhattan site. The organization is the same, middle being the chapel, left side would be the classrooms, computer rooms etc, while the right is the gym, cafe, auditorium, maybe even the library.
