Magellan International School

LPA’s designers, engineers and landscape architects worked with Magellan International School educators to transform a suburban 14-acre commercial office property in north Austin into a vibrant education center that reflect the school’s programs and goals.

Delivered on a tight budget, the new campus features separate primary and secondary schools, each with collaboration hubs, a dedicated innovation lab, music room and art room. The schools share a multipurpose room and 2,500-square-foot bilingual library, each designed to meet the school’s specific educational needs. Parking spaces were converted into an array of active outdoor spaces, including a fenced playscape, an athletic field and sports court, an outdoor classroom and an amphitheater.

The result is a campus far removed from its office complex roots, providing a unique education experience that prepares the school for future growth.
