Lake Forest Elementary School
Sandy Springs, Georgia
Lake Forest Elementary School is one of the most beautiful elementary school campuses in the metro-Atlanta area. A lush streetscape treatment in combination with preservation of an existing stream buffer and sensitively located playfields and site amenities help to reduce the neighborhood impacts. Several progressive stormwater management features were utilized on the project including bioretention areas in parking lot islands, a perforated underground stormwater infiltration system and a stormwater detention system with a vegetated sand filter. This custom assortment of best management practices results in a system that will reduce stormwater pollution, reduce stormwater peak flows, and encourage groundwater recharge.
