Ruhehe Primary School

2019 Education Facilities Design

Jury’s Choice Award – K-12 Education Facilities

Project name: Ruhehe Primary School

Project location: Musanze District, Rwanda

Firm name: MASS Design Group with The African Design Centre

Jury comments: Landscape drives this school’s design both visually and logistically. Use of local materials and labor provide an investment in the community while minimizing the environmental impact of bringing in goods. Women were included in the project at all levels. This school is an inspiration, reminding architects to do more with what is at hand.
