In 1995, Gillis-Judson-Wade was commissioned to rescue a project designed by another firm that was severely over budget. The extensive use of modular classrooms, connected with a custom-designed concrete and steel covered walkway brought the project back into line, and realized a savings of over $750,000 to the client. The covered walkways not only softened the somewhat stark appearance of the modular classrooms, it also unified the buildings into what appears to be a cluster of larger custom-designed buildings. The school opened in time for the transfer of students from the original Brentwood Elementary campus.
