Westside Elementary School - Rogers, Arkansas

Westside Elementary School represents a bold step forward for the Rogers community — a contemporary campus designed to inspire students from the moment they arrive. The architects set out to create a building that felt welcoming and modern, selecting TCPlank in two carefully chosen colors — Silk Grey and Platinum — to craft a warm, layered backdrop that gives the façade depth and visual interest without overwhelming the building's approachable character. The interplay between the two tones brings a refined sophistication to the exterior that resonates with the community it serves.

Equally important to the design's success is the use of TCShade, installed along the upper perimeter of the building to create a clean, continuous visual screen that conceals the roofline and mechanical HVAC systems from view. The result is a crisp, uninterrupted silhouette that reinforces the building's contemporary aesthetic while solving a practical challenge with elegance. The Rogers community has embraced the finished project enthusiastically — a testament to the power of thoughtful material selection and a design vision that puts both beauty and function at the heart of a school's identity.
