The Bailly School Complex
Architect: Mikou Design Studio
Location: Saint-Denis, France
Completed: 2009











The Bailly School Complex houses a preschool, an elementary school, and a recreation center. Along one side is a very busy road. The building glazed over the windows on this side to ensure student privacy and keep the children focused. The side opposite the road has wings that open up into gardens, which allow the children time outside in fresh air in between classes. The colorful design of the building and the way the lights and windows keep it bright help to facilitate a fun and vibrant learning environment for the children. This school design can help get kids enthusiastic about their learning early on, simply by having a unique and playful design. While the classrooms and windows are designed for privacy and focus, the building as a whole, with its colors and gardens, keeps the mood light, which should be very beneficial to the young students that attend the school.
