Eoghan Newman Kelley was an Architect from Sanford, Florida who specialized in designing schools during the late 1960s and all through the 1970s. Kelley's designs were based on a trend in the 1960s and early 1970s called the Open School Concept. The outer school building was composed of large, simple geometric shapes with no windows, and the interior of each module was so laid out that it had few permanent walls; instead, movable walls abounded and very few of the classrooms had any doors. This was done to facilitate free movement between the rooms and modules. Many of his schools design feature a signature rectangular entrance portico, sunken media centers and raised cafeteria. Only a few of Kelley’s designs had cafeterias most of the "open concept schools" had what was called satellite lunch, where a school somewhere else in the district with a cafeteria prepared the meals for those schools and delivered it daily to the schools without cafeterias but just instead a satellite lunch room instead where you would go in a small room pick up your lunch and either eat outside at a designated picnic area or eat in the pods.
