design of the Mustang Education Center, a 26,835-square-foot facility that the firm transformed from a home for the elderly to a place where children come to learn. Mustang Public Schools purchased the former nursing home to create an education center - a place for gifted and talented education, alternative education and pre-kindergarten. The four existing wings of the building worked well to separate the grade levels. What were once double-occupancy residential rooms became large classrooms. A new large reception desk serves as security central and is adjacent to the administrative offices.
