In nature, the high-performance dragonfly darts and twists as it flies. Iridescent facets on its shell and wings reflect and refract sunlight. Not only is this marvelous insect visually stunning, but it is a powerful inhabitant of the realms of water and air. The dragonfly symbolizes transformation and change. Like its namesake in nature, a Dragonfly™ building is a high-performance model of the green transformation of modern architecture. Reflecting and refracting sunlight, Dragonfly buildings interact with water, air and the natural environment. They are visually stunning structures, with green spaces and sun clock adaptability. Dragonfly sets new standards in acoustics, daylighting and layout flexibility that affect occupants in powerful ways. The solar-paneled roofs and technologies of Dragonfly collect and reprocess energy, rainwater and waste. These regenerative, environmentally-sensitive buildings are sustainable for generations to come.

As a cost-effective, prototype system for constructing state-of-the-art school buildings, the Dragonfly™ model represents the most advanced thinking in K12 design today.
