Silver Ranch Elementary, located in Bismarck, ND, is a project that serves as a response to the growing student population in the Bismarck Public School District. The district has been experiencing increased enrollment, necessitating the construction of new schools and additions.

Architectural insulated walls were used as the building envelope for the 70,000 sq ft school. These wall panels were a combination of form finish brown blocks at the base with a barn wood formliner on top, which ran vertically and were poured in gray, with field staining by Nawkaw for a realistic wood aesthetic.
