Reading Friends of Aledo is a 6,200 SF early childhood education facility scheduled for completion in fall 2018. Designed with a focus on the education of approximately 200 Preschool and Kindergarten students, the fl oor plan centers around an exterior courtyard, increasing the amount of daylight into the school and allowing for a vital connection to the natural environment with an emphasis on outdoor education. Designed to evoke the classic schoolhouse aesthetic, the Austin-style stone and stucco exterior blends into the surrounding context of the town of Aledo.
