clearview high school clearview high school

the new clearview high school located in lubbock tx is meant to be a magnet high school for the environment for any student that wishes to pursue a college major in the environmental field. main goals include having a stronger connection to the natural environment, increase student engagement and activity, and increase the graduation rate of high school students, while also complying with high sustainability. to have a stronger connection to the environment, a central courtyard along with green roofs are used to symbolize nature. to further increase student engagement, individual and group study pods are placed on the long classroom corridors. to increase graduation rates, students get views to both the exterior and the interior of the building from their classroom. to comply with high sustainability, natural materials like gravel and pervious paving are used throughout the site, central outdoor learning space for the students, planters to offer fresh air, green roofs to control the weather, and greenhouses for education and sustainable purposes. to be noted, this project was done with my partner, Amanda Rich.
