Description

The renovation of the IC PreK building kept the exterior façade of the previous building and changed the interior design completely. The building's refurbishment earned LEED Gold in January 2024.

Brief

The International College PreK building was built in the early 20th century. A major overhaul was needed to reflect IC's vision in education and sustainability. It was decided to keep the project's outer envelope and renovate the interior sustainably. The renovated building has a healthier indoor environmental quality, better energy performance, more spacious classrooms, and improved water efficiency.
