We are thrilled to announce that MOA ARCHITECTURE has received the prestigious 2024 Peak Design Award from the A4LE Rocky Mountain Chapter for our work on Little Raven Elementary School! This recognition celebrates the thoughtful design, innovation, and community-driven approach that went into creating a space where students can thrive.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Little Raven Elementary School stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and creativity. The school was designed to foster learning, exploration, and a deep connection to nature and community. Featuring vibrant, ecosystem-themed classroom pods, dynamic outdoor learning spaces, and a community-centered layout, every element was crafted with intention and heart.

The design honors the legacy of Chief Little Raven, a peacekeeper of the Arapaho Nation, with thoughtful storytelling woven throughout the building. The walls showcase stories from the Arapaho and Cheyenne Nations, reflecting the shared history and rich cultural heritage of the area.
