Kipp Lynn Academy
Location / Lynn, Massachusetts
Client / TK
Kipp Academy is situated above downtown Lynn, adjacent to High Rock Park, a highly visible landmark within the city limits. The new Academy consists of a high school wing, middle school wing, cafeteria, gymnasium, and administrative offices. Copley Wolff’s programming for the site includes an outdoor learning amphitheater, spill-out cafeteria space, and an athletic field.
The building and site features take advantage of the view toward Boston’s skyline and Nahant Bay. Sustainable design techniques, such as bioswales and cisterns are used to mitigate high runoff volumes generated, due to the site’s consistently shallow bedrock.
