Jeffery O. Smith science wing at Kecoughtan High School wins national award

The Jeffery O. Smith science wing at Kecoughtan High School is the recipient of the National Terrazzo and Mosaic Association (NTMA) honor award.

As stated on the NTMA website:

“This new science wing boasts a fun, appealing floor that enhances a unified design concept. To meet the design objective of maximizing learning opportunities within the campus, the epoxy terrazzo floor incorporates a bright topographical rendering of Southeastern Virginia, complete with accurate longitude and latitude grids and a detailed outline of the Chesapeake Bay shoreline. An attractive palette of five epoxy colors represents the bay’s earth, marsh, and water, with glass and mirror aggregates adding depth and sparkle. These high-performing floors are seamlessly resilient for optimal ease of maintenance.”

The terrazzo contractor is David Allen Company of Raleigh, NC and the architect is RRMM Architects of Chesapeake, VA.

“Congratulations to you all,” shared Chris Gossett, associate principal/senior project manager of RRMM Architects. “Thank you for supporting the vision of this wonderful project.”
