"The vision for the Chartwell School was to create an exceptional, high-performance learning environment for children with dyslexia. The result is a pleasing, durable campus that integrates daylight to improve learning rates, and uses its site overlooking Monterey Bay as a sustainability teaching tool. The design dramatically reduced environmental impacts, achieving zeronet electricity use and potable water reduction by 70%. The jury commented: the school implicitly demonstrates a healthy indoor environment and connection as a strategy for working with a special population of children."
