Mathes Brierre Architects donated Landscape Architectural services to design a Master Plan for Hynes Charter School in Lakeview. The school was severely damaged during Hurricane Katrina and had to be demolished. FEMA paid to re-build the school, but did not pay to replace any site amenities orĀ playgrounds. The school is raised money to implement the design plan. The program included a new playground for the upper school, a new play area for PreK and Kindergarten, athletic field, lunch terrace, multi-purpose paved sports courts (basketball, tennis, etc.), an outdoor shade structure, and a unique nature explore classroom in the PreK and K yard. Phased Construction allows for funding availability.
