Introduction

Avonworth School District Feasibility Study: 19-178 Avonworth Middle / High School & Elementary School Expansion Plan

Executive Summary This Study and Survey have been prepared by IKM Architecture on behalf of the Avonworth School District and under the direction of Superintendent Tom Ralston. The team’s assignment has included, as part of the preparation of this report, an evaluation of District goals, analysis of District facilities, prioritization of improvements/modernization needs and recommendations for accommodating increased pupil population, demonstrated by a District-wide demographics study that preceded this engagement.

EXISTING FACULTY EVALUATION The consulting team conducted an evaluation of the district’s existing Elementary School and Middle SchoolHigh School facilities, using a standardized facility condition rating system. All building characteristics, systems and physical spaces were reviewed and assigned a score of 1-5, 1 being poor condition, 5 being excellent condition. The functionality and ability to meet educational program needs at each facility was determined through meetings with District and school personnel and analyzing the areas in the context of the educational goals of the district. The team has also identified remedial action to existing facilities to evaluate costs of renovation and modernization. All of this combined data provided the basis on which to determine District facility needs and estimate construction costs and timelines.

DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL AND FACILITIES PLAN

FACILITY PLANNING IMPLEMENTATION

The Avonworth School District has a long standing reputation as a leader in educational excellence within the community, striving to deliver dynamic instruction supporting basic academic programs, enrichment and advanced placement programs, vocational offerings, cultural awareness as well as extra-curricular activities. Your determination to examine facility needs with special attention to enhancing teaching and learning spaces served as the foundation for building analysis and in particular, when developing design concepts for the schools in question.

The District has established a long-range facility plan based upon the investigation of this report. In general, both the Elementary School and the Middle School/High School have been well maintained. Recommended facility system upgrades are necessary due primarily to age of equipment and not due to neglect or improper care.

Critical to these new learning spaces will be: safety and security; consideration for flexibility to adapt to changing needs, including technology; transparency in terms of student-to-teacher and studentto-student; project spaces to apply learning; and, spaces for building relationships. With the understanding of these critical educational facility considerations, the School Design Advisory Teams (SDAT) developed the following Guiding Principles: 1. Create flexible, innovative and inspiring spaces that maximize learning.

2. Consider the overall district impact and long-term future by providing

fiscally responsible and efficient solutions.

3. Create spaces that prioritize the physical health, mental health and

safety of our students.

4. Provide solutions that celebrate the values of Avonworth and foster a

greater sense of community and pride.

The School Design Advisory Team, comprised of District staff, teachers, students, and community members reviewed the need and sequence for facility improvement, renovation, and addition. Through a collaborative, interactive and inclusive planning process, the District established facility priorities, scope, and concepts. Throughout the process, the Guiding Principles noted above served as filters to test the strength of a proposed concept or idea’s ability to support quality teaching and learning.

Based on this collaborative planning input, committee feedback and District Involvement, a facility improvement and growth plan was established, scope was defined, priorities were set and a District Long Range Facility Plan was prepared.

Consideration should be given to replacing electrical panels that are original to the building. The interior lighting in the majority of the building utilizes T-8 fluorescent light fixtures with limited control settings. Upgrading the building to LED light fixtures with digital control would significantly enhance the learning environment, provide wider variability for lighting options and produce long-term energy savings.

Additional recommended systems upgrade include replacement of vertical unit ventilators due to age and a full building conversion to Direct Digital Automatic Temperature Control System to optimize energy efficiency and comfort control.

In addition to systems upgrades, the delivery of educational services is compromised by building configuration, classroom size and changes in educational pedagogy. Providing more flexibility in classrooms, increased transparency between classroom and corridor and additional access to student dining and library spaces would provide additional tools for educators and more effective ways to deliver a 21st Century education.

The Secondary campus should have all interior light fixtures upgraded to LED fixtures with digital controls to optimize lighting levels and maximize energy savings.

Exterior lighting should also be upgraded to LED sources as existing fixtures begin to fail. The boilers are from 1999 and approaching their end of life expectancy. A new chiller plant is recommended to replace the existing R22 plant. Additional systems recommendations include full building conversion to Direct Digital Automatic Temperature Control System to optimize energy efficiency and comfort control and replacement of numerous rooftop air handling devices that predate 1999 and are showing signs of deterioration. If corridors are part of larger renovation, they will need to be provided with ventilation to bring them up to code.

In addition to systems upgrades, the delivery of educational services is compromised by building configuration, classroom size and changes in educational pedagogy. Providing more flexibility in classrooms, increased transparency between classroom and corridor and additional access to student dining and library spaces would provide additional tools for educators and more effective ways to deliver a 21st Century education.

Outline

Avonworth School District Feasibility Study: 19-178 Avonworth Middle / High School & Elementary School Expansion Plan

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to articulate the educational vision, goals and program delivery options for secondary learning in the Avonworth School District, now and into the future. Furthermore, its purpose is to describe the physical environment necessary to support the vision and goals for effective teaching, learning and community engagement.

This document has been authored for the community, and as a result, is more than a typical feasibility study where the audience is primarily the design team. Through the use of this study, the community becomes informed and may inform the design team, allowing for conversation that leads to a more symbiotic relationship between learning objectives and a physical environment that supports those objectives.

The process utilized to create this document is founded on a philosophy that honors the power and importance of collaboration and is also based on the premise that to successfully develop a vision for 21st Century educational facilities that support learning today and into the future, all voices must be heard and considered. This visioning process began, not with a focus on architecture, but rather a conversation and exploration about learning. How do we learn? Where do we learn best and why? Does the physical environment play a role in learning? How do we achieve academic success for all students? Our exploration and research for the answers to these questions included study of brain research, multiple intelligences, learning modalities, and examples of contemporary learning environments in our Ohio benchmarking tours.

The development of this document is a direct outcome of a broadly inclusive visioning and planning process that meaningfully engaged a wide spectrum of administrators, teachers, students and community members. Avonworth School District assembled this group called the School Design Advisory Team (SDAT) that, in partnership with IKM Architecture, crafted the vision for the district as student population increases and thoughtful re-organization of grade levels becomes necessary. On the following pages, the visioning process is both graphically illustrated and described in narrative.

Scenario IV: Projections with Higher Fertility (excerpt from Stewman Demographic School Analysis, February 11, 2019) This scenario uses the same parameters as in Scenario 1. What differs here pertains to the future projection years, 2023-2028, for which we must make assumptions about the number of births. We now increase them modestly from the most recent (2014-2017) 4-year average baseline of 146 births per year. The basis for the consideration of such an increase is the unfolding of a new replacement regime – the replacement of the baby bust female cohorts by the Echo Boom cohorts, increasing the number of reproductive women in the key fertility age groups (as discussed in Section 1). In this scenario, we have assumed that the births from 2018 to 2023 will be 156, an increase over the current level by 10/year. The full impact from the Echo Boom cohorts will not occur until 2020, as shown by their occupancy of all 3 key reproductive age – cohorts – 25-39, 30-34, and 35-39 – in Table 6. Given the net in-migration of preschoolers in the district, which adds to the births for subsequent K entries, and increase in births in the last 8 years, the assumption of yet additional births here seems quite reasonable.

The results for Scenario IV are shown in Table 20. The changes are indicated in the shaded cells and as they can be readily seen, there are no changes at the middle and high school levels since the changes in births after 2020 do not reach beyond the 5th grade in the 10-year projection period. The Primary School is expected to increase by 19 students in the 1st 5 years and by 28 students in the 2nd 5 years for a total of 47 students (+10%). The Elementary School has a growth of almost 100 in the 1st 5 years and 20 additional students in the 2nd 5 years, a growth of 120. The Middle School is more similar to the Primary School, with an expected increase of 32 students in the 1st 5 years and 24 students in the 2nd 5 years, totaling 56 students by 2028. The High School’s expected increase is 70 additional students in the 1st 5 years and 88 in the 2nd 5 years, a total of 158 students. As noted above, there is no difference between Scenario I at the Middle and High Schools. Overall, growth in this scenario is expected to be 220 students in the 1st 5 years and 160 in the 2nd 5 years for a total of 380 students.

The number of students at the beginning of the projection in 2018 and the expected number in 2028 in this scenario are as follows: This Scenario is viewed as the most likely scenario for the Avonworth School District

10 YEAR PROJECTION

We have examined several major demographic and economic effects to take into consideration when making projections. The following are 10 of the major findings:

1) 2) 3)

Births are currently at their highest level in over 3 decades. The first finding is that, in contrast to many school districts in Pennsylvania, where births have dropped for the last 20 years, in Avonworth the drop was confined to a five year period between 1995-1999. For the most current 8 years, births are at their highest level in 3 decades.

Delayed Childbearing is continuing, with ever more births to mothers age 30 or higher. Births have continued to shift to women over 30. In 1990-1994 the below/above % for women age 30 or above was 48%/52%. By 1995-1999 the share was 36%/64% and this share basically held for the next decade and a half. The 2 most recent years it has increased to 28%/72%.

The distinct Total Fertility Rates in the United States for essentially the 2nd half of the 20th century, 1945-2000, produced Population Waves in the age structure, including in Avonworth, and these Population Waves are largely responsible for the changes in births.

4)

Net in-Migration for smaller cohorts such as the baby bust cohorts, can change the direction of births – up versus down if it is sufficient to change the direction of the cohort replacement.

5)

Net in-Migration of Preschoolers has increased. For the most part, net-migration of preschoolers is negative for all but Ohio Township. However, Ohio Township’s net-migration has been substantial and increasing over time.

6) 7) 8) 9) 10)

Using E3 and NM as generators of enrollment change at the student level, we find NW’s role modest at the Primary level, with both E3 and NM equal and significant at the Elementary level, and neutral or negative at the Middle and High School levels.

The retention and B-K ratios have a substantial growth embedded in them, with 9 of the 12 retention ratios equal or greater than 1.0 and the remaining 3 near 1.0; the B-K ratio is over 1.04.

Net in-migration of women in both the 25-29 and 30-34 age cohorts is quite high, adding to both increased births and student net in-migration.

Enrollment in the Avonworth School District has increased considerably in the last decade, accelerating in the last 5 years while enrollment in alternative schooling is declining a bit (-7%). The fastest enrollment growth over the last 29 years was in 19901994, and increase of 375 students; the second fastest was in 2015-2018 (+185) and the 3rd fastest was in the prior 5 years, 20102015 (+169).

Major housing development has occurred over the last decade with a continued rather high rate of construction, but it appears to be dampening down. The construction of new homes in Ohio Township has totaled 830 over the past 9 years. The main developments, some starting some time ago, are near term or are completed or near completion. There will be no additional direct impact from new housing construction beyond that estimated in the retention rations and the B-K ratio.

From Many Voices, One Vision SDAT

THANK YOU

S.D.A.T. workshops

The Avonworth School District Board of Directors believes that a significant project aimed at effectively embracing the opportunities and challenges that come from significant population increase necessitate public input and a transparent planning and visioning process. In response, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tom Ralston and his administrative team assembled a School Design Advisory Team (SDAT). This team included teachers, students, administrators, and community members. In support of this endeavor, the SDAT participated in 10 design workshops, participating in profound discourse on how we define and understand what learning means in the Avonworth School district – including how we instruct our students and how we prepare them for the future. It was essential that the SDAT fully understood the district’s mission, values, and beliefs before they could begin to envision what a new, expanded learning environment should look like.

In addition to the role that our school facilities have in the lives of our students, the buildings also serve the broader community as a resource center for all. In order to meet the needs of students and non-school age residents alike, it’s critical that the SDAT include representation from this broader stakeholder group.

The insight, knowledge and passion of our many SDAT Partners have made this study possible. Thank you to the Avonworth District leadership, Elementary School, Middle School and High School staff, students, parents, and community members who have contributed immensely to our understanding of the Avonworth values, culture and history.

A very special thank you to our SDAT members for their dedication and commitment to embracing the need and being a catalyst for change. Thank you for the many hours given to help shape the vision for the future of this district and it continues to grow and thrive as an educational leader in the region.

Avonworth School District Feasibility Study: 19-178 Avonworth Middle / High School & Elementary School Expansion Plan

SUMMARY Our first School Design Advisory Team (SDAT) workshop kicked off with an introduction of IKM, our role in the feasibility study and an overview of IKM. process. The day began with a unique way of introducing each member of the SDAT and the community cohort that they represented. The Group was then broken up into small groups and each group focused on 5 broad discussion subjects: • • • • •

Likes and Dislikes of the Middle/School High School Likes and Dislikes of the Elementary School Values of Avonworth Community Defining Success Priorities for Avonworth

At the conclusion of this small group brainstorming session, the full SDAT was reassembled for a broader discussion about the things that surprised us during the small group discussion and the things that may require more thought. This summary event is called the Wows & Wonders and is a foundational element of the Planning and Visioning process.

The small groups were asked to identify stakeholders impacted by this study. It is important to have a complete understanding of those who may be impacted by growth and change in the district to determine how we might leverage relationships and personnel as an effective tool in an expansion project.

Lastly, the group was presented with the data from the Demographic Analysis Study that was commissioned by the district in 2019. This study identified significant growth in student populations over the next 10 years, necessitating a targeted and intentional plan to address the challenges associated with this kind of growth.

SUMMARY Our second School Design Advisory Team (SDAT) workshop focused on the impacts of the physical spaces and what potential growth may look like. We talked about middle school and high school grade organizational theory and we began a conversation about defining the Guiding Principles that would become important filters for future ideas to be evaluated and validated by.

ACTIVITY In the Grade Distribution Exercise, small groups were given simple floor plans without any room names. They were also given a series of stickers, labeled with each grade that currently lives in each school. Groups were asked to think about the pros and cons of different grade level configurations on each campus and had full creative license to reassign grade levels based on their group’s beliefs and values. They were also given some parameters to address the growth that was identified in the Demographic Analysis.

In the Site Plan Charrette, small groups were given large format google-earth site plans of the Middle/High School campus and the Elementary School Campus as well as a number of predetermined puzzle pieces of significant site elements. These included additional parking, roadways, building additions, gymnasiums, auditoriums, etc. The group was challenged to think broadly about the opportunities that existed on each campus and were given the latitude to reimagine/redesign the site plans for each school. This was a very interactive design exercise with heavy use of scissors, markers, tape and most importantly, creativity. At the culmination of the exercise, each group shared out their concept with the larger group and answered questions about the decisions made by the group.

The guiding principles represent a vision for the future of contemporary learning and growth at Avonworth Elementary School and at the Middle/ High School, both today and into the future. They are to be used as a communication tool and as a “filter” for guiding, evaluating and validating design decisions moving forward.

GRADE LEVEL DISTRIBUTION After reviewing the concepts that small groups had presented back in February showing various configurations of additions to the Elementary School and to the Middle/High School, as well as a new, free standing Middle School, the location of the 6th grade because the central point of conversation. In all possible variations, the location of the 6th grade was paramount to the success of the concept. With that illumination, discussion quickly focused in on the pros and cons of the 6th grade remaining as part of the Elementary School (requiring expansion of both facilities), or being relocated to an expanded Middle/School High School facility.

Because our previous research and discussions already determined that there were no educational advantages to specific grade level groupings, the primary advantage of moving the 6th grade to the Middle/High School campus was construction related.

SUMMARY The primary objective of this virtual charrette was to work together in small groups to design a new contemporary learning environment for the Avonworth School District by making a series of interventions to the Middle/High existing floor plan.

ACTIVITY

1 Entrance

The SDAT was broken up into small groups and each group was assigned a team name and an IKM facilitator. The team name was one of 5 species of Antelope. Once in the small group (via zoom) the participants were shown an existing floor plan, as well as a wide array of “puzzle pieces”. The puzzle pieces consisted of different programmatic elements such as classrooms, library, offices, classroom clusters, etc. The groups were to work with the IKM facilitator to move the pieces around and develop a concept to support contemporary learning as well as stated growth objectives.

This design activity lasted approximately 40 minutes.

9.24.2020 Workshop SUMMARY

After each group presented their concept, the SDAT was asked to vote for the solution that best achieved the objectives outlined by the Guiding Principles. The results were as follows:

The primary objectives of the workshop were to review the design concepts created by the 5 small breakout groups from the September 10th virtual design charrette:

1)

Waterbuck’s concept included a 2-story addition near the current middle school entrance. The concept included a 2 story central student commons, a singular main entrance, modified library to add 4 additional classrooms and included a community fitness amenity.

2)

Sable’s concept included an addition near the existing shop space, as well as one near the existing middle school entrance. This group modified the library to add four classrooms and included an open, 2-story commons space.

3)

4)

5)

Despite each concept receiving votes, the were certainly elements of consensus among each of the groups:

Impala’s concept added a second floor about the existing library area, adjacent to the main gymnasium, as well as a 2-story commons space. The 2nd floor classroom addition included 4 classroom clusters with shared learning commons, an additional library and small group learning spaces. This concept assumes that the Middle School will occupy the majority of the 2nd floor addition.

•Singular, common entrance for the entire school

•2-story central student commons

•Interior separation of Middle School & High School

•Revisioning of library space – right-sizing resources

•Flexibility in new learning spaces (garage doors,

movable walls, multi-purpose function, accessory prioritization)

Blackbuck’s concept included an addition near the existing shop space, as well as one near the existing middle school entrance. This group modified the library to add four classrooms and included an open, 2-story commons space similar to the Sable concept. The group selected classroom clusters that included learning commons, small group instruction rooms and restrooms.

While the main objective of the feasibility study is to address the growing student population of the district, other “accessory” issues were brought forward that should be considered as part of the long-term plans for the district:

Suni’s concept included the same general additions as the Blackbuck and Sable concept, but this group moved the addition near the wood shop out further into the courtyard so that an additional learning commons could be placed between the existing school and the addition. A new, singular main entrance with reconfigured administrative offices were shown.

Fitness Center 2-Story Commons Additional Parking New Gymnasium Auditorium Renovation New Auditorium

The SDAT was broken up into small groups and asked to rank their top 3 priorities from this list.

ECO CHARETTE It is important to gauge the ecological mindset and community values regarding sustainable choices for the Avonworth School District. While it is always important be good stewards of the environment, the Design Team needs to know how far to take these strategies because certain design characteristics can come at a premium and require compromise on other budgetary items. Knowing where the community stands and what they will support will allow the Design Team to find the appropriate balance between sustainable and programmatic needs.

The SDAT was again broken up into small groups and each group was given a set of “playing cards”. Some of the cards were illustrated the accessory items from the previous exercise, while other illustrate sustainable building practices that would be considered over and above conventional building practices.

10.8.2020 Workshop

23 MS classrooms 36 HS classrooms

SUMMARY The objectives of the virtual workshop held on October 8, 2020 were to review the prioritization charrette and eco-charrette results from the previous workshop held on September 24th, 2020. Beyond the immediate need for additional classroom space to support the growth of the student population, there were other needs that had risen to the surface during the course of our planning and visioning process. The SDAT was broken up into small groups and asked to rank the top 3 “accessory items” in order, 1 being the most important, 2 the next most important and so on. After this exercise, the design team applied a scoring system to each groups top 3 accessory items and ranked them accordingly as follows: 1. 2 story common space to provide additional common space as well as expansion opportunities for the gymnasium and auditorium 2. Additional parking – parking is currently limited on the MS and HS property and this will become exacerbated with any building addition that brings additional students, faculty and parent traffic onto the site.

3. Auditorium Renovation – A report was shared with the SDAT that documented the current condition of the audio, visual and theatrical systems on the existing auditorium.

These systems could be modernized with stat-of-the-art equipment for significantly less cost than a new Auditorium.

Another activity from the September 24th meeting included an assessment and accounting of the district’s values regarding sustainable building characteristics and strategies. IKM reported back to the SDAT that a calculation based on sustainable choices placed the district-wide value on sustainable choices as above average, meaning the design should employ sustainable strategies and concepts wherever financially feasible. Particular interest was shown for daylight harvesting, low-flow toilets, green roofs and rainwater collection in the majority of the small groups.

7 Shared classrooms

With priorities for accessory items and sustainable goals established, the SDAT reviewed refined floor plans for the Waterbuck Option and Blackbuck Option. In addition to refinements from the last meeting, IKM presented corresponding site plans for each option showing alternate strategies for additional parking, bus drop-off and pick-up, as well as public vehicle circulation. Along with each option, IKM provided an opinion of cost breakdown for each of the items identified in the plan configurations. With equal information in hand, SDAT members were asked to vote for the option that best supported the previously established Guiding Principles.

With 18 SDAT members present the results were as follows:

Office/faculty Fitness Center

23 MS classrooms 36 HS classrooms

With no clear consensus between options, we moved on to focus on the phasing of construction to begin developing a long-range plan for district improvements. Two competing options were presented, using data from the opinion of costs that were presented earlier. The biggest difference between the two options were that Option A included the 2 story commons in Phase 1 and the Auditorium Renovation Option in Phase 2, where as Option B reversed those two elements.

Guiding Principles

Avonworth School District Feasibility Study: 19-178 Avonworth Middle / High School & Elementary School Expansion Plan

DEVELOPING CONSENSUS After conversations and research on the highlights and challenges of the existing schools, the potential impact of additional students in the buildings, and the impact of multiple construction projects throughout the district, the SDAT was challenged to begin to formulate a set of Guiding Principles. The Guiding Principles represent the vision for learning environments for Avonworth School District. It is important that these principles be authored by members of the Avonworth community to guide and direct decision making throughout any upcoming projects. They are to be used as the primary filter for all ideas and decisions to ensure they are evaluated and validated through the lens of the values and beliefs of the community.

The SDAT began by brainstorming ideas in small groups. Each group was asked to generate as many potential guiding principles as they could: concepts broad enough to be applied to different kinds of problems or questions yet specific enough to provide clear direction to decision makers and designers.

Each small group shared out their initial set of guiding principles with the larger group. Following the workshop, the design team compiled the results, grouping common ideas and thoughts together to avoid redundancy. The result was the following list of themes: 1.

Learner Focused 2.

Fiscally Responsible 3.

Big Picture 4. Flexibility 5.

Innovative & Inspiring 6. Wellness 7. Safe

Brain Science BIOPHILIC DESIGN Biophilia (meaning love of nature) focuses on human’s innate attraction to nature and natural processes. It suggests that we all have a genetic connection to the natural world built up through hundreds of thousands of years of living in agrarian settings.

What are the Benefits of Biophilic Design?

There have been numerous studies over the last 35 years on the benefits to the built environment through improving a connection to nature.

It is a term popularized by American biologist Edward Wilson in the 1980’s, when he observed how increasing rates of urbanization were leading to a disconnection with the natural world. With high rates of migration to urban settings in the developed world and soaring rates in developing countries – Biophilia is of ever increasing importance to our health and well-being in the built environment.

• Workplace: productivity can be increased by 8%, rates of well-being up by 13%, increases in creating and reduction of absenteeism

Biophilic Design uses these ideas as principles to create a human centered approach that when applied improves many of the spaces that we live and work in today, with numerous benefits to our health and well-being.

• Education: increased rates of learning 2025%, improved test results, concentration levels, reduction in cases of ADHD and reduced truancy

Why is Biophilic Design Relevant Today?

The World Health Organization expects stress related illness, such as mental health disorders and cardiovascular disease, to be the two largest contributors to disease by 2020. With a diminished connection to nature, the increasing pressure on urban space & the ubiquitous technological presence we have less opportunity to recuperate our mental and physical energy.

• Healthcare: post-operative recover rates decreased by 8.5%, reduced pain medication by 22%

• Hospitality: Guests are willing to pay on average 23% more for rooms with views of biophilic element

• Retail: the presence of vegetation & landscaping has been found to increase average rental rates on retail space with customers indicating they are willing to pay 8-12% more for goods and services.

Incorporating direct or indirect elements of nature into the built environment have been demonstrated through research to reduce stress, blood pressure levels and heart rates, while increasing productivity, creativity, and self reported rates of well-being.

NATURAL LIGHT

Neurological Nourishment

Incorporating natural light can provide physical and physiological benefits to students, teachers and administrators. Natural light is shown to benefit the health, concentration and even test scores of pupils.

-Cultivate grounds for viewing

Natural light is significantly different than artificial light. It is 100’s of times brighter and much more complex in spectral hue. It delivers warmth, vitamin D which strengthens our immune system and stimulates bone growth and strength.

-Maintain healing gardens -Welcome animals indoors

What are the Benefits of Naturally lit spaces?

-Provide clear view of nature from inside

• Workplace: increased employee productivity, lower stress levels and reduced conflict

-Display nature in photography and art

• Healthcare: Patients sleep better, enjoy more circadian rhythm, feel less stressed, report less pain, heal quicker and have a lower mortality rate • Education: Students focus better, retain information more effectively and overall improvements in behavior. On average, test scores in naturally lit environments are 15% higher than scores in rooms without natural light • Retail: Can increase sales in retail setting by 40% Daylit Classrooms: -Students focus better, retain info better, behave better -score 15% better on exams

Daylit workplaces: -increases employee productivity, lowers stress levels reduces conflict -can increase sales in retail settings by 40%

INTERSECTIONS IN THE CLASSROOM The evidence is clear that biophilic design and the presence of natural light have a dramatic impact on our state of mind, including our cognitive ability to embrace new information, creatively solve problems and build meaningful relationships. While the data in learning environments is sparse due to limited available research dollars, other industries with deeper pockets have come to the conclusion that biophilic design and natural light make a significant impact. It is not a reach to suggest that if the presence of biophilic elements and natural light help people heal quicker in hospitals and be more productive in the workplace, then those same elements must help students learn more effectively.

Benchmark Tours Due to the restrictions of COVID-19, we were unable to explore contemporary learning environments as a full SDAT. Instead, we were limited to essential personnel only and dependent on those representatives to tour the facilities and bring back findings and discoveries to the SDAT for their consideration.

The following is a narrative of each of these tours and the findings that were presented to the SDAT.

HAWKEN SUMMARY Founded in 1915, Hawken School is a coeducational private day school of 540 students at their 9-12 campus in Gates Mills, Ohio. Central to Hawken’s mission is their promise to “prepare students to navigate a complex and dynamic world with self-confidence and determination; embrace challenges with disciplined analysis and creativity; and engage others with empathy and integrity.” The fulfillment of this promise has earned Hawken a national reputation for educational excellence and innovative programming.

TOUR FINDINGS •Throughout our tour of the Hawken School, we were struck by the vast amount of transparency, both interior and exterior. A lot of attention and was given to creating visual connections throughout the facility, with interior and exterior widows being the primary tool for achieving this.

•Common space – space without programmed or scheduled use was extensive and thoughtfully placed throughout. It varied in size and shape, from a large central learning stair and community living room, to small breakout areas thoughtfully placed along corridors.

•The library was designed specifically to match the role that it was designed to achieve – that providing resource support zone for student study and exploration. There were very few book stacks in the space. Instead, soft furniture groupings, worktables and small group workrooms filled the space.

The circulation desk was replaced with a centralized student resource desk where the librarian was stationed to maximize availability and access to students.

•The amount of unscheduled space presented a concern for student safety and security. As a solution, the design decentralized administration, placing administrative and departmental offices adjacent to these open student spaces, providing passive observation.

•The program concept of Hawken School used a higher-education model of faculty scheduling, meaning most classrooms were not occupied by an individual teacher. This allows for greater utilization rates for classrooms and allowing greater flexibility in dealing with fluctuating student enrollment.

•A unique feature of the Hawken School was the absence of student lockers. Again, a higher education model was adopted where students carry belongings with them throughout the day. With most resources being electronic, this is much less of a burden than in the past and circulation space can be better used for learning in this model.

CAMPUS INTERNATIONAL

Avonworth School District Feasibility Study: 19-178 Avonworth Middle / High School & Elementary School Expansion Plan

SUMMARY Campus International is a K-8 school that prepares students to be global citizens by emphasizing student inquiry and a global perspective. CIS is located on the campus of Cleveland State University and benefits from a unique, nationally recognized partnership with the University.

TOUR FINDINGS •The first thing that the tour group was struck by was the open entrance that provided direct visual connection into heart of 4-story school, anchored by a learning stair that connected the first floor to open terraced seating on the second floor.

•As at Hawken, interior transparency was used strategically throughout the compact floor plan to visually connect adjacent spaces, both vertically and horizontally. A large central atrium is open to the central learning stair on the first two floors. The 3rd and 4th floors surround the atrium core with large, colorful glass.

•Because this school sits on a relatively small site, a vertical approach to space planning was utilized.

The gymnasium space was located on the third floor, and isolated acoustically so as not to disturb spaces above or below. The gymnasium was purposefully designed to match their physical education program, as opposed to using a traditional basketball court dimensions to determine gym size.

•Each of the four flour plans were divided into quadrants surrounding the central core, with each quadrant representing a grade level cluster of four classrooms. Each cluster shared common open space and a faculty work area.

•Another similarity to the Hawken school tour was the discovery that many teachers at Campus International do not have their own classrooms. They have office space for prep in the faculty work spaces and use classrooms for instruction periods only.

•While the Campus International tour was enlightening based on maximizing the use of a small footprint, the lack of green space was negative. There are plans to add a roof garden in the future.

This feature was eliminated during construction due to construction cost overruns.

LAKE MIDDLE / HIGH SUMMARY Lake High School is a public middle school and high school in Lake Township, Stark County, Ohio.

As part of a comprehensive district redesign, the final step in transforming Lake Local Schools was achieved with the completion of the middle/high school. This newly reimagined school underwent a 107,000-square-foot addition and 65,000-square-foot renovation.

The school serves approximately 1,900 students, grades 7 through 12. The recent improvements provide a new way for students and teachers to interact and learn by providing a student-centered environment that fosters relationships. The innovative learning spaces encourage flexibility and collaboration while providing growth opportunities to meet the district’s needs for the next 50 years.

TOUR FINDINGS •A unique feature of the Lake Middle/High School was the role the building played for its community. The school was connected to an urgent care health clinic and a YMCA recreation facility. The shared amenities allowed each component to serve the community well beyond what they would be able to do on their own.

•The design of the Middle School/High School incorporated a large central “learning stair” that is used for meetings, gatherings, alternative learning space, assemblies, and community events.

•The interior aesthetics incorporated bold branding of school colors and logos throughout main circulation space.

•The new classroom addition was organized into flexible learning communities or pods. The addition was broken up into groupings of four classrooms surrounding a shared learning commons. This space serves as an extension to the classroom, supporting small breakout groups, project-based learning, and team study.

•The classrooms in the small learning communities were connected to each other using either large, overhead garage doors or accordion-style collapsible partitions. This provided ultimate flexibility in classroom configuration, allowing direct interaction between classrooms and effortless sharing of resources.

•While the classroom clusters and flexible connections were symbolic of very progressive learning environments, the library and science rooms followed a very traditional, inflexible model. The library was quite large and supported a significant amount of book stacks and physical resources. The science labs utilized fixed lab benches with water and gas infrastructure at each bench.
