Based on the district’s recently approved Educational Specification, this new elementary school will be the most collaboration-inspired campus the district has ever built and will serve as a springboard for future district projects. Major points in the Ed Spec include group collaboration spaces, connected indoor/outdoor teaching spaces and large amounts of shade and covered space to enable utilization of outdoor space in this arid climate. The design takes the Ed Spec requirements even further by placing a group study room between each pair of classrooms. Every classroom has equal opportunity to facilitate different types of learning in these zones. And there are three outdoor classrooms complete with wet project areas, seating and shading elements. The Flex Lab area in the heart of the campus connects directly to a sunken outdoor classroom via a large sliding glass door, which effectively doubles the size of the learning environment.
