Hilltop Elementary School
Argyle, Texas

Hilltop Elementary School for Argyle I.S.D. is a 97,112 square-foot, Pre-K - 5 facility designed to support a student population of 700. Constructed on a rural hill site, the terrain provided ADA challenges and special opportunities for a teaching environment. The building configuration creates settings for a fine arts patio, a science yard, and an enclosed playground for Pre-K - 1 students. Shared curriculum areas are central to the facility, and grade levels have been located to enhance flow of student traffic throughout the building. A full-sized gymnasium provides activity space for students and shared community space for after-hours athletic events.

Kirkpatrick Architecture Studio always designs schools with the students in mind, creating bright colorful spaces scaled to accommodate the grade-levels in each facility. For more information on our president and founder, James R. Kirkpatrick's approach to designing learning facilities, see these articles that he contributed to on our Press page.
