Two projects designed by Pfluger Architects are finalists for a Caudill Award for the 2019-20 Exhibit of School Architecture competition sponsored by The Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA) and Texas Association of School Boards (TASB).
The EoSA recognizes new and renovated Texas schools with stars of distinction in six categories, Design, Value, Sustainability, Community, Planning, and School Transformation. To be considered for a finalist in The Caudill Class, selected projects must receive at least four stars of distinction.
Pieper Ranch Middle School, (Comal ISD), was recognized for Design, Sustainability, Planning, and School Transformation. As one of the fastest-growing districts in the nation, Comal ISD needed a middle school that could be flexible in use and purpose. The terraced, circular layout created a busy, activity-filled courtyard that serves many purposes for the campus and community.
The Nature to Neighborhood Studio, (Round Rock ISD), received stars for Value, Sustainability, Community, and School Transformation. Perched on a bluff overlooking the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, the N2NStudio is 100% off-grid and honors the unique nature and topography that surrounds it.
The Caudill Class winners will be announced at the 2020 TASA Midwinter Conference in Austin in January.
Other Pfluger projects receiving recognition are the E.L. Turbon Student Center, (Alamo Colleges), for Value; and the San Gabriel Campus, (Austin Community College), for Design, Sustainability, and Planning.
