Project Background Surrounding Program
Premise Our Cirriculum: Project-Based Learning
Our high school contains collaborative classrooms where students are more active. Students will take traditional classes (reading, math, science, and social studies) as well as a “project” class where they work in teams and combine knowledge from all subjects while doing a group project to solve a real-world problem. Professionals from the community will come in once or twice a week to the Community Collaboration Zone and mentor students in various fields. The Community Collaboration Zone is located on Level 2, just above the Cafeteria near the rest of the public programming. The projects will also require work in the Wood Shop, and Research Center (within the Library).
Premise Guiding Questions
How can we fit the appropriate/required program within a building mass that translates to the scale of downtown Anderson ?
How can a building serve both community members and students simultaneously?
How can a building deliver light effectively to interior spaces that don’t have direct access to an exterior wall?
Premise Our Cirriculum: Project-Based Learning
Our Project-Based Learning curriculum is seen throughout our program. Our Flex Classrooms teach traditional subjects (reading, math, science, and social studies) and take place within flexible rooms. Instead of rectangular spaces, our classrooms are square to accommodate this adaptable program. There is no “front of the room,” although they can be if desired for presentations. The specific desks can be arranged to suit any type of learning or collaboration setting on any given day.

Next, the students collaborate with selected members of the community in the Community Collaboration Zone.
Students can work in their groups for their project classes while getting feedback from members of the community. There are different types of spaces within this space for varying levels of interactions: work areas, lounge spaces, and presentation areas.

The students’ projects will require the creation of prototypes, models, music, plays, art, etc. The Creation Zone is where this will take place. It includes the Wood Shop, Art Room, and various Music Rooms.
The Wood Shop is located on the same level as the Black Box Theater for ease of transport of built props and set pieces.

Students will also use the Research Center (within the Library), and work throughout the school in Collaboration Rooms, Group or Individual Study Rooms or other workspaces to complete their projects and classwork.
The Collaboration Rooms are distributed throughout the 4th and 5th Floors for students to utilize before/after school or between classes.
Traditional Study Rooms are located within the Library.

Design Section Perspective
Design for ECONOMY
efficient space programming and program overlap allows for less SF use of locally sourced timber for CLT and glulam reduces material transport costs reduced redundancy in finish materials by allowing the timber to be the finish in many cases use of mass timber as a construction material allows for efficiency, modularity, and a quicker construction process (time = money)

programming such as woodshop, theater, gymnasium, and library fill gaps in current community services provide community gathering and event spaces that support social infrastructure and human networking provide space and access for a diversity of individuals (children, youth, families, seniors, people of all genders and backgrounds) plan adjacency of spaces and circulation to encourage integration rather than seperation GYMNASIUM

MENTAL + SOCIAL
promote social capital and combat lonliness by creating spaces that encourage interaction and engagement with students and community members
design a variety of spaces (large gathering spaces, corridors, small study rooms, reception spaces) to foster a variety of intentional + chance interactions
provide views/direct exposure to nature to reduce stress levels enhance access to nature for the community support an authentic connection to nature through our use of a natural building material palette and creation of new City park
