WHERE NATUREAND NURTURE GOHAND IN HANDCASE STUDY: GOTTESMANRTW ACADEMYGottesman RTW Academy (GRTWA) was foundedin 1967 and serves approximately 225 children fromearly childhood education through eighth grade. Toachieve the school’s mission of academic excellenceand nurturing students in an environment infusedwith the thoughtfulness & richness of Jewish life,KSS designed the new 48,000 sf educational facilitywith emphasis on connectivity with the environment,sustainability, community, Jewish culture, andflexibility in dynamic learning environments.Emerging from the highest point on the hill top, thenew school rises from the glacier-formed bedrockbelow. The exterior concrete alludes to the stonewalls of Jerusalem, while vertical wooden slatsfilter light through the common space, echoing thesurrounding landscape of mature trees - carefullypreserved during construction. 60-75% of energyconsumed by GRTWA is provided by a rooftop solarphotovoltaic system and tracked by a display near thescience center. A kosher kitchen provides consciouseating programs and onsite opportunities forreligious and religious programs. A vegetable gardenharmonizes farm-to-table practice and ceremonialJudaic herbs, embodying GRTWA’s gracefulcombination of spiritual and educational growth.

EDUCATIONALLY INNOVATIVE At the heart of this project is an intimate understanding of how Gottesman RTW Academy infuses learning, nature, and community with the Jewish faith: • Cream-colored cement panels clad the exterior in an aesthetic that emulates Israel’s Western Wall—the school has even the same number of courses as the Western Wall does at its highest point. The color of the façade was matched to on-site rock outcroppings. • Included in the exterior facade of the gym is a stone that emulates the Western Stone, the monolithic mass that is the largest stone in the Western Wall. Historically one of the largest building blocks in the world, the Western Stone is one of the heaviest objects ever lifted by people without powered machinery—evoking it at the base of the gymnasium wall is a nod to both perspiration and inspiration. • Twelve small and humble square punch windows are scattered throughout the project, reflecting the twelve tribes of Israel.| 74
