The Lower Level re-development incorporates an “open” design to the learning environment, replacing the traditional uniformity of your typical classroom layout with a much more free-flowing design. This open layout goes far beyond the standard school configuration and offers unique extras like a Learning Commons, Campfire Banquet, Teacher Collaborative Workroom, Learning Studio, and a Small Group Room. This innovative approach to the structure of the external learning environment allows for a more inviting space for education and creativity. This project was completed ahead of schedule and within budget per optimization of value engineering opportunities.
