The dramatic RHEINZINK-clad “flying wing” sets the tone for the stunning transformation of an aging corporate complex into the futuristic home of the Capitol Region Education Council’s new Academy of Aerospace and Engineering. Located in Windsor, Conn., the magnet school enrolls more than 700 students in grades 6 through 12 from all districts of the Greater Hartford area.
The technologically-advanced architectural theme is designed to enhance the school’s core curriculum of aerospace and engineering. The “wing” portion of the 164,000-square-foot building houses the middle school’s science laboratories.
