The scope for this new 250,000 SF high school is centered on four individual buildings, in a campus-like setting to serve 1,200 students in grades 9-12. Three, 400-student academies will deliver a personalized and customizable learning experience in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), Bio-medical, and Digital Arts. A separate commons building combines the identities of the three academies and houses shared functions. DLR Group provided planning and architecture services for the project in partnership with GraceHebert Architects.

This project includes renovating a 108,670 SF facility built in 1965, adding a 12,200 SF pod with a variety of flexible learning spaces, and creating a 60,145 SF Community Center addition. The Community Education and Recreation Center (CERC), with its own entry, includes three gym stations with an elevated track, fitness center and community meeting spaces. Large glass windows will bring natural light deep into the facility, lighting all recreation and meeting areas. The classroom addition accommodates the district's movement toward a STEAM program and provides two academic clusters each with ten classrooms and three Einstein labs (multipurpose labs that can be used for science and other subjects. The commons area, the building's heart, seats up to 400 students and focuses on a raised stage area with acoustical ceiling. DLR Group provided architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural engineering and interior design services.

This High School serves as the sole high school for the Kodiak Island community. Following graduation, many of its students remain on the island enter its leading industries of commercial fishing, healthcare, aerospace, and the US Navy and US Coast Guard. DLR Group's design provides a 21st Century modernization to a 1960s building with numerous additions and renovations. The design features three types of spaces: LINK, GATHER and LEARN. LINK spaces tie together zones throughout the building. GATHER spaces function as community destinations such as the library, dining commons, and fitness lounge. LEARN spaces are used for educational delivery, featuring ample glazing to encourage connectivity between learning spaces. By stacking the addition into one, 4-story structure, the design minimizes the impact on a tight site, allows an open, connected space plan and maximizes ocean views. DLR Group exercised diligent communication practices throughout the design process in order to arrive at a design which unifies the dreams and ideals of the community, while supporting the essential need for vocational, career, and technical programs.]]> 2017-03-22 15:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tkinney2/AustinISDinspire/wish/161865981 tkinney2 https://padlet.com/tkinney2/AustinISDinspire/wish/161868613 Dallas, TX
This elementary school uses Challenge-Based Learning, which is an Apple version of PBL with Montessori and technology intentionally mixed in. Learners are grouped in K-5 small learning communities, which allows them to be grouped by ability or grade level. Teachers share the whole neighborhood, and have a desk in a Design space where the teachers design learning. ]]> 2017-03-22 15:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tkinney2/AustinISDinspire/wish/161868613 tkinney2 https://padlet.com/tkinney2/AustinISDinspire/wish/161874587 Katy, TX

Katy Independent School District (ISD) already featured science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The STEM presence in their district was established and thriving. But, at the time, there was no dedicated space for the arts. Katy ISD figured it was time to make a place that brought STEM and the arts together—a place for students, teachers, and mentors to collaborate.
The Robert R. Shaw Center for STEAM is a place where Katy ISD users can intersect. Creativity, communication, and collaboration are explored as roles and responsibilities are rotated. For example, teachers can be learners, students can be leaders, and mentors can be collaborators. It’s a new forum to delve into diverse interests relevant to our changing world...]]> 2017-03-22 21:02:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tkinney2/AustinISDinspire/wish/161971502 tkinney2 https://padlet.com/tkinney2/AustinISDinspire/wish/161979457 Plano, TX
Plano ISD’s Academy High School is an adaptive reuse of a former office building into a 21^st century learning environment designed to support a hand-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) curriculum. The design removed walls to create an open plan, incorporating flexible learning space, project labs, a fabrication lab, and formal and informal gathering spaces throughout the 100,000sf facility. Faculty offices are housed in adjacent, but equally open, “teacher home” areas.]]> 2017-03-22 21:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tkinney2/AustinISDinspire/wish/161979457 tkinney2 https://padlet.com/tkinney2/AustinISDinspire/wish/162144751 Students share their experience in this video...]]> 2017-03-23 14:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tkinney2/AustinISDinspire/wish/162144751 tkinney2 https://padlet.com/tkinney2/AustinISDinspire/wish/162145571 Overland Park, KS]]> 2017-03-23 14:33:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tkinney2/AustinISDinspire/wish/162145571
