The Ames CSD 24th Street Development is a 26-acre parcel that included a new administration building, baseball and softball complex, tennis courts, a practice cross country course, supporting buildings, infrastructure and amenities.

It was the desire of the administrative team and the school board to design a building that was sensitive to the built environment of the adjacent neighborhood. The administration building is placed parallel to the railroad tracks to make the site open and inviting. Choosing a material palette that reflects materials of the neighborhood maintains a design connection to the adjacent houses and buildings.
