Magnolia Academy

Magnolia Academy is an elementary school concept located within a repurposed historic firehouse in downtown Baton Rouge. Rooted in research on Montessori principles and learning through play, the project reimagines the traditional school environment as one that encourages curiosity, independence, and exploration. The design transforms the structure into a dynamic, student-centered space blending flexibility, creativity, and engagement to create an atmosphere that feels both educational and inspiring.
