Midway Elementary School in Sanford, Florida was completed in 2010 and was the first LEED Certified School in Seminole County.
BDG provided the landscape architectural services and LEED related documentation for this new state of the art magnet school. Water efficiency was greatly increased through he use of a drought tolerant plant palette and selective use of a drip irrigation system. The overall site heat island effect was dramatically reduced through the use of highly reflective paving materials and the strategic placement of canopy shade trees.
