For two earlier phases on its Prosper campus, Prestonwood Christian Academy had been the secondary user behind a growing church. Phase Three reverses that relationship: a building designed first as a school, with the church’s student ministry using it second.
Design Process
Early sketches, floor plans, and material studies trace how Phase Three’s purpose-built school wing took shape alongside the church’s existing campus.
Phase Three added a second, larger gymnasium with a built-in stage, sized for both school athletics and the larger assemblies the student ministry needs on Sundays. Where the campus’s first gymnasium answered the academy’s early growth, this one was built to carry the building’s full range of uses.
Floor-to-ceiling glazing runs through much of the building, bringing in daylight and views of the trees outside. The commons faces east to capture favorable morning light while avoiding harsh Texas afternoon heat; the classroom wing’s south-facing windows trade some of that thermal advantage, mitigated with exterior shading.
