E. Rivers Elementary School
Atlanta Public Schools
Opened in 1917 as Peachtree Heights School, E. Rivers Elementary is one of APS’s most historic communities.
Thoughtfully designed to integrate closely with a small urban site, this three-story elementary school is comprised of three classroom wings with attached administration, cafeteria / auditorium and gymnasium components. The site includes parking and car pool drop-off, a soccer field, track, a certified eco-habitat garden and playgrounds.
Noteworthy: During the planning and programming phase, CCCA and APS collaborated with the surrounding neighborhoods and school community to blend the building architecture with the adjacent historic residential community.
