The Common School
Amherst, Massachusetts
The Common School is a progressive elementary school on a small campus in Amherst, Massachusetts. The School is in collaboration with the adjacent Hitchcock Center and Bramble Hill Farm to create a learning community around sustainability, farming and nature. Kuhn Riddle was asked to provide a campus master plan in response to the School’s desire to undertake a moderate expansion, from about 115 students to about 160, in the context of that collaboration.
