From the 2024 Educational Interiors Showcase: Cottrell Elementary School

Cottrell Elementary School in Dahlonega, Georgia, is the Lumpkin County School System’s new two-story school designed to accommodate up to 885 students in grades K to 5. The school features energy-efficient systems and sustainable materials, locally sourced where practical. The jewel of the school is without a doubt its media center. It has a hanging art installation meant to resemble flying books, jewel-toned custom casework, an all-glass breakaway makerspace, and a whimsical twisty slide in the school system’s signature purple.
