A Dream for Flower Mound Campus

Coram Deo Academy has grown from its modest start in 1999 at one location to 975 students at three campuses. In summer 2005, Coram Deo Academy embarked on a new phase of permanence by purchasing 15 acres in Flower Mound. The property includes a grammar school facility, a temporary upper school classroom facility, a commons building used as a gymnasium, cafeteria and auditorium and a small office building. Now, the Academy seeks funding for additional campus development through the Cultivate Today – Transform Tomorrow Capital and debt financing.

Principles to Focus the Direction of the New Facility Design and Quality

Proportion and Scale: the height, width, and size of building façades, fenestration, and articulation will be governed by classical rules of the golden section.

Timeless Architecture: the architectural styles employed will avoid trends and cliché by using architectural style that is more towards vernacular and of the place.

Ornamentation: ornament and detail will be placed on each façade and interior spaces in varying degrees in order to enrich the beauty of each building and campus as a whole. It is understood that expensive ornamentation can be added in the future after much of the campus is build out.

Smaller Buildings: every facility will be designed as smaller buildings within a larger campus setting avoiding the “big-box” modern day school and illustrating the more Jeffersonian perspective of the schools view of the body politic.

Natural lighting: all classrooms, corridors, and common spaces will utilize controlled day-lighting designs.

Sustainable: each facility will be designed according to the six principles of Sustainable Design.
