Reconfigure Access and Circulation 1

A new approach to vehicular circulation is based on expanding and diversifying the access points to the campus, as well as distinguishing zones for pick-up and drop-off from parking lots. In the future, traffic will be distributed across four different entry/exit locations with improved dropoff and pick up areas. The proposed strategy is as 1.follows:Aformal gateway to the campus for visitors that arrives at the convergence of the new High School and EYS buildings, with remarkable views to the quebrada and Nido Spine. This access builds upon the existing entry to the campus and can also be used by EYS parents for pick-up/drop-off.

4. Mostly defined as an egress point for Nido in peak hours, this access can also be used for service vehicles to directly access the Infrastructure Hub.

3. A new access road that serves a more functional role, particularly during peak traffic hours. This road establishes a loop between Avenida El Rodeo and Calle Nido de Aguilas creating efficient flow of vehicles. Pick-up/ drop-off zones are located along the road, providing much greater length for temporary staging of cars. Designated parking lots are also accessible from this road.

2. A designated access/drop-off area for the Nido Institute that is framed by its new academic facilities without interfering with the school’s overall circulation.

The framework establishes the development sites for key projects within a pedestrian armature that reinforces Nido’s arrival experience and improves connections to the overall campus. The Nido Promenade, provides a north-south promenade that links the southern gateway to the existing core of the school. This route works with the topography of the campus, providing an accessible path with gentle slopes and ramps.

Create the Nest, Nido’s social crossroads2

By moving the High School closer to the existing entry, the framework seeks to create a new heart for Nido that fosters collaborative learning and engagement across the school. The Nest is framed by division clusters, which have their identity reinforced by strategic infill and landscape interventions. Towards the west, a wellness zone provides a range of indoor and outdoor recreation activities that allows for a transition to Nido’s larger natural setting, enhanced with trails and spaces for exploration and learning.

The Nest is envisioned as a flexible outdoor space that can host a range of different functions. On regular days, it’s a meeting spot for students across divisions to collaborate and engage with each other. A generous tree canopy and pavilion provides shade and a comfortable microclimate for informal learning.

The landscape framework builds upon one of Nido’s most critical foundational principles: engaging with nature and the outdoors. By daylighting the Quebrada Los Pitufos, we establish a direct connection between the rich surrounding ecological context and the academic core of the school, while also making a positive contribution to the environment. The quebrada will play a prominent role in advancing Nido’s sustainability agenda and transforming the campus into living laboratory.

At the ground level, a concourse establishes a gateway to the academic core, linking the dropoff plaza to the Nest Walk. A Multi-Activity Court (MAC) is framed by weight and training rooms that poke out the volume of the building creating inspiring views to the surrounding landscape. Additional locker rooms are also proposed. Facilities in the addition allow spaces within the existing gym to be renovated and repurposed.

The extension of Av. El Rodeo establishes a new dynamic between Nido and its surrounding urban context. The framework leverages this new condition to propose programs that advance Nido’s outreach and social purpose agendas. As articulated by the school’s Strategic Vision, the plan anticipates the new uses on campus that will further reinforce Nido as a hub of knowledge. A valuable site, contiguous to the academic core, and connected to the Promenade is reserved for the creation of an institute devoted to the advancement of new pedagogies. Opposite the Institute, and on land that is cutoff from the campus by Av. El Rodeo, the plan establishes a site for an integrated subsidized housing, community learning center and plaza. Envisioned as a collaboration between Nido and the Municipality of Lo Barnechea, it will foster new kind of partnership with its surrounding community.

Still in its early stages of conceptualization, the Nido Institute is envisioned as a center for the advancement of new pedagogies and innovation in education. Programs related to professional development, capacity building and training in new technologies will cater to educators in Latin America and beyond. It is also envisioned that Nido could offer higher-education programs in collaboration with other institutions, both domestic and foreign, expanding it’s academic footprint.

Reconfiguring access to the school is a crucial first step in implementing the framework plan. It will alleviate the dire congestion experienced by the community in peak hours, and more importantly, will establish the sites for the initial implementation projects, such as EYS. As a critical first step for Nido, a simultaneous feasibility study for both the access strategy and new EYS will allow the fine-tuning of these two components.
