We're excited to share renderings from the Rio Real K-8 Campus Facilities Transformation, a project close to our hearts and one that reflects the kind of work we love doing most.
In partnership with Rio School District, the design concept for Rio Real asks a simple but powerful question: What if we could go to school in a forest?
That idea became the foundation for everything. The campus is organized around the layered experience of moving through a forest, with clearings for gathering, shaded places to pause, landmarks that anchor memory, and pathways that invite exploration. It's a campus designed to feel like a journey.
At the heart of it is a deep commitment to the students who will use these spaces every day. From flexible indoor-outdoor classrooms to a dedicated wellness center, a new library, a culinary arts program with an herb garden, and "The Perch," an elevated learning commons for middle schoolers with views across campus, every decision was made with their growth, curiosity, and well-being in mind.
This is what happens when a community comes together around a shared vision. We're grateful for our continued partnership with Rio School District and the trust they place in our team.
