To improve and update its existing schools, the town of Holbrook, Massachusetts, developed and erected a new 217,000 square foot preK-12 school to replace three aging buildings. The design team selected a dynamic, timeless material for the exterior of the structure that is both engaging to students and beautiful to all who passersby.

The building?s exterior has a distinct green and blue color that can only be associated with copper. The copper wall panel system is comprised of over 11,500 interlocking 18-24 ounce pre-patina copper panels cut to cover 33,000 square feet of the building?s envelope. The entire front curve of the building, almost half the entire exterior surface, is now a beautiful ? and durable?copper façade.

Even though the new Holbrook preK-12 school building was constructed for practical reasons, it also serves as the perfect backdrop for the new public park that will be created right in front of the building.
