Innovative Learning at Hilliard City Schools The Hilliard Learning Hub offers students unique learning opportunities in a multidisciplinary setting.

PROGRAMS OFFERED:

• Individual Learning Experiences

To expand their Innovation Campus, Hilliard City Schools collaborated with Fanning Howey to transform a former elementary school into a project-based learning environment for grades 6-12.

The design of the space provides a flexible and collaborative environment for diverse learning objectives, and integrated technology supports the district’s focus on preparing for the future.

A Cost-Concious Approach to Transformation

AFTER

Working with a small budget, Fanning Howey’s interior designers focused on strategic improvements to support project-based learning. The addition of flexible furniture allows students to rearrange their spaces to meet the day-to-day needs. The design converts several areas to support additional collaboration space. A former cafeteria stage is now small group seating. A former classroom is now a digital media lab. And a traditional media center is now a large innovation zone.

Collaboration with students resulted in a series of dramatic murals throughout the central corridor. The murals express the culture and mindset of the Hilliard Innovative Learning Hub.

“The design is a perfect blend that supports students in being architects of their learning journey. They particularly love The Union with its amazing furniture and color!

Collaboration, laughter, and deep learning come out of this space daily.”
