THE PROJECT STORY
Like all school districts, the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District uses multiple tools to project future student population growth. Significant development of single and multi-family homes within the district’s boundaries, along with other leading indicators, led the school district to conclude it could expect a 5-year student growth rate of more than 10%. In addition to other strategies, the need for a new junior high school was identified.
Edward “EF” Green Jr. High was designed as a space that would be attractive and conducive to student learning. At the same time, especially when spending public funds, financial prowess is always essential. The intersection of beauty and budget was identified as Split Face and Smooth CMU architectural finishes from Best Block and both products are critical to the look and feel of the school.
With a creative design in mind, the architects delivered the value, durability, and contemporary appearance desired by the district utilizing attractive facades, colors of natural stone, and sharp angles . To bring it to life, a combination of Best Block Limestone Cream Split Face CMU and White Limestone Smooth CMU was selected as primary building materials. The talents and experience of the craftsmen from Tomball, TX based City Masonry ensured that quality craftsmanship would also be on display.
Today, hundreds of students, teachers and staff proudly call EF Green Jr. High home. They come together in an attractive, contemporary space that is educating the next generation of
leaders.
Surface Preparation
The lobby previously housed a multi-level water feature, so the concrete required significant demolition and remediation. Then, the entire substrate was treated with TechPrime™ A Advanced Acyrylic Primer prior to leveling. This product is ideal for concrete slabs but is also appropriate for non-porous surfaces, making it a true all-purpose primer.
