Willow Glen Elementary, San Jose, CA


Constructed in 2007, this new award winning, two-story classroom building, designed by Bill Gould Design, is located at a prominent corner of San Jose’s distinctive Willow Glen shopping district. The non-foreboding metal sculpture entrance gate provides security in an urban setting. The sun dial above the gate is evocative of the notion that education should be and is a beacon of light sending forth bright students in much the same way as the multi-directed metal sun rays radiating above the gate’s sun sculpture.
