LG Elementary Chosen for Architecture Exhibit

The Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA) and Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) have announced that 55 projects will be included in the 2022-23 Exhibit of School Architecture, and La Grange ISD’s new elementary building is one of those honorees. This exhibit of new and renovated Texas school facilities includes projects from 36 school districts and two colleges that were submitted by 16 architectural firms. Eligible projects are newly constructed or renovated public education facilities completed in the past five years and not previously submitted in this annual exhibit. La Grange’s campus earned distinction in the category of “Community.” The criteria for a “Community” award project is one that “enhances or embraces the community’s culture and diversity giving consideration to its identity, community context, sense of place, and/or overall purpose and importance of the facility to the community at large.”

The Exhibit of School Architecture awards are given at the discretion of a 12-member jury, which includes: four school board members, four school administrators, and four members from the Association for Learning Environments (A4LE) Southern Region. The juried exhibit awarded Stars of Distinction for Excellence to 34 projects in one or more of the following six areas: design, value, innovation, community, planning, and school transformation.

The TASA/TASB Exhibit of School Architecture, in collaboration with theA4LE – Southern Region Foundation, showcased the 55 projects as a part of the 2022 TASA|TASB Convention, in San Antonio September 23- 25.
