Summary
Three sectional drawings showing cross sections for the modernist style administrative building, classroom building and dining hall at the Denver Country Day School (name later changed to Kent Country Day and currently known as Kent Denver), 4000 East Quincy Avenue, Cherry Hills Village neighborhood, Englewood, Colorado, ca. 1964. The large hexagonal shaped dining hall, with six-sided modified hip roof, is characterized by wooden roof trusses, that allow for a large, expansive two story high open internal area and floor to ceiling plate glass windows with a hopper window at the bottom of each unit. The use of wood roof trusses is also used to support modified pitched roofs for the administrative and classroom buildings. Interior and exterior brick veneer and vertical wood paneling is used for all three structures.
