Ann Arbor Open School was originally constructed in 1923 as Mack Elementary School. In 2007, a major renovation and addition took place to incorporate a K-8 education, which doubled the size of the building. The original three-story masonry structure consists of a brick and stone veneer exterior and is situated on 7 acres in the northwest sector of Ann Arbor and supports Kindergarten – Grade 8.
