Seth Parker presents, fresh off the press
Journey Middle School
The photo session
Journey opened with almost seven hundred students and carries over nine hundred now. Discovery and Liberty, the district’s other middle schools, each dropped from about 1,400 students to about 1,100 the year it opened — which was the point. Madison City Schools has since passed 13,000 students and keeps climbing. The architects, for the record, practice under a new name these days — Archemy — but the drawings for this school carry the name Nola | Van Peursem.

the record, in fullBuilt to Take the Pressure Off
My credit here is the architecture, outside and in. This is one of the shortest pages in my case studies, and that’s deliberate. A school that does its work without drama gets a page that does the same.
