Patrick Lynch Elementary School

Transformation

Jul 16

Written By Katherine Rose

This is the last of three schools in Depave’s Centennial School District Expansion. We removed approximately 7,000 sf of asphalt, which will reduce the annual stormwater runoff by ~70,000 gallons annually. The dilapidated parking lot has now been transformed into a nature play area with a stage, benches, gravel paths, native plants, rain gardens, and shade trees. We worked alongside Urban Forestry to install trees with the 5th graders.
