Creating the Nido Hub of Knowledge The vision to create a 21st century hub of knowledge at Nido is supported by four pillars:

•

Celebrate and encourage collaborative learning through visible, flexible, and accessible indoor and outdoor spaces

•

Integrate nature and sustainability as the backbone of the campus, through curricular and extracurricular programs as well as its infrastructure

•

Foster wellness through campus life programs and its physical setting, reinforcing a holistic educational model that nurtures the mind, body and spirit

•

Connect with the community on and offcampus, advancing Nido’s public purpose and expanding the school’s influence in the district, Santiago and beyond

Reconfigure Access and Circulation

1 - Reconfigure Access and Circulation

535 Spaces

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 follows:

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.

Bus Drop-Off

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.

Unlocking New Development Sites

Nido’s vision is clearly expressed upon arrival at the campus, with the new High School building becoming a prominent feature

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.

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 entire campus is connected through a legible pedestrian armature, composed of the Nido Promenade, Nest Walk and additional secondary paths.

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.

In the south, uses that reinforce Nido’s outreach and social purpose agenda take advantage of El Rodeo’s extension to create a new front for the school, with new possibilities to engage with its urban context.

2 - Create the Nest

1

A Hub for Collaboration and Engagement 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.

International Park connects the entire core campus, becoming Nido’s pulsating green heart

Existing International Park

On special events, The Nest is also a place to celebrate Nido’s vital community and traditions, where students, parents, staff and visitors come together.

2 The Hub engages with the park, creating an open forum for experimentation and collaboration, while supporting Nido’s shift to project-based learning

Renovation of existing buildings can provide valuable lessons for future facilities at Nido. The existing MS Wing is one of the older buildings on campus, and the framework plan envisions repositioning it as a test bed for new learning methods.

Accessible Route

Retractable partitions allow for the upper level of the building to accommodate different configurations simultaneously. Moveable furniture can be introduced as a way to experiment new teaching arrangements.

The Quebrada as the backbone of the campus 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.

Engaging with Av. El Rodeo and the Cierro 18 Community

E EN A D PROM

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.

Nido Institute + Hub of Knowledge 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.

The Institute positions Nido to become a leader in stimulating innovation in education in Chile and beyond

The framework plan allocates a critical site along El Rodeo, that is remarkably visible to the outside community, and connected to the pedestrian armature of the school’s academic core.

Triggering Projects

New Field

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.
