Founded in 2002, The Girls’ School of Austin provides an intellectually challenging education for girls in a supportive and creative environment. The new campus was constructed to accommodate the growing needs of the school. The 12,400 sq foot facility includes a multi-purpose building, art and science classrooms as well as multiple gardens and play areas throughout the campus.
The outdoor environment makes up from than 60% of the campus, and includes courtyards and rooftop decks. The rooftop deck, made with Bison Innovative Products ipe deck tiles and Bison deck supports, provides a unique alternative educational space for outdoor learning.
Bison Ipe Deck tiles are manufactured from long lasting, responsibly harvested remnants adding to the sustainability of the project.
