Malala Yousafzai Elementary School

EMA’s SOLVE team partnered with Ford Bend ISD and the A/E design consultants to develop an elementary school that meets LEED certification requirements and fulfills the District’s current and future facility needs. Malala is FBISD’s 51st elementary school and is designed to accommodate student growth, create flexibility and provide a thermally comfortable learning environment.

The LEED Certified building utilizes energy-efficient MEP systems and incorporates innovative technology throughout.
