Highgate Elementary School in Bakersfield, CA, represents a significant step forward in educational facility design, combining state-of-the-art architecture with sustainable building practices. Designed by S.I.M. Architects and constructed by Klassen Corporation, the school is tailored to foster an engaging and enriching learning environment for its students.
A critical component of Highgate Elementary’s exterior design is the use of AEP Span’s Curved Span-Lok™ metal roofing panels. These panels play a pivotal role in the school’s aesthetic appeal, durability, and energy efficiency.
The architectural design incorporates AEP Span’s architectural metal panels, which provide a modern and sleek appearance. The panels were selected for their clean lines and contemporary finishes, contributing to the overall visual appeal of the school.
AEP Span’s metal panels are designed with energy efficiency in mind. The reflective properties of the panels help to reduce heat absorption, thereby lowering cooling loads and contributing to the building’s overall energy efficiency. This feature is particularly beneficial in Bakersfield’s warm climate. Highgate Elementary School in Bakersfield, CA, showcases the successful integration of modern architectural design with sustainable building practices. The use of AEP Span’s metal panels not only enhances the building’s aesthetic and durability but also contributes to its energy efficiency and sustainability goals. This project sets a new standard for educational facilities, demonstrating the potential of innovative design to create spaces that are both functional and inspiring.
