TRENDS

Makerspaces are popping up everywhere right now— in regular education classrooms, libraries, and art rooms. Today’s students are empowered to collaboratively innovate, create, and learn through choice, experimentation, and play. The “maker movement” encourages educational environments that foster authentic engagement. A makerspace is a natural extension of the traditional art room, and it doesn’t have to be an expensive mission for your school or department. Tactile activities are just as important as the tech options, and diversity in your makerspace leads to more authentic educational exploration—preparing students for an engaged future.

TRENDS

In order to keep up with growth, many school districts do not have the time to design each building from scratch. The economy, the time—it all weighs in. These communities are faced with a real challenge to construct educational environments as economically and quickly as they can, but that does not mean they can’t be great schools. A good prototype needs to be extremely adaptable, flexible, and allow for easy changes and adjustments down the road. Flexible design makes it easier to adapt to specific sites, and it also lends itself to sustainability. So, don’t write off prototype because it’s perceived as repetitive and economic. A prototype can be the most high-performing building that we see today.

COOLIDGE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

After a complete modernization and restoration, Coolidge Senior High School was re-imagined for a science, math, computer technology, media, and arts focused curriculum. Built in 1940, the 318,000 sf Georgian-style school had been expanded in 1987 with the addition of a 91,400 sf sports complex. In addition to the high school, a new collocated middle school was also planned for the site. The design-build team focused on stabilizing the historic structure while creating educational programs for two distinct schools. The high school remained in the northern half of the building while the Ida B. Wells Middle School was provided a separate entrance in a 12,600 sf addition. Two exterior service courts were enclosed with soaring glass roofs to accommodate an arts commons, shared dining commons, and a variety of classrooms. Historic preservation eorts included restoration of the cupola, replacing all original windows roof tiles, recreation of a historic greenhouse, as well as interior restoration of the auditorium. Having achieved LEED Gold, sustainable features include energy eďŹƒcient mechanical systems, a green roof on the addition, low VOC materials, and a stormwater management system.

TERRASET ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Originally designed in 1975, Terraset was built as a 990-student open plan program concept, and was conceived as a completely energy conservative building. The school utilized “earth-cover,” a sophisticated heat reclamation mechanical system, and passive and active solar energy to heat and cool the building. For the renovation, some exterior walls and the roof remained, while the 70,000 sf interior was modified and reconfigured. Terraset retained its grass roof, with portions of the building extending outside the original footprint though 34,000 sf of additions. The entry courtyard was enclosed, and two bridges were replaced with a single pedestrian bridge covered by a canopy that is reminiscent of the original solar panel array. The new portions of the school include an administrative addition to the front entrance, a new library, classrooms, fine arts addition (both art and music), and a School Age Child Care addition. The existing student dining facility was expanded and updated to accommodate the increased student body. Renovations were phased in order for the school to remain functional throughout the process.

WEST SPRINGFIELD HIGH SCHOOL West Springfield High School is an existing 288,000 sf school housing 2,200 students. The project comprises a comprehensive renovation touching all areas of the school. The design includes additions totaling approximately 109,000 sf, highlighted by relocating the entrance of the school to the main parking lot and the “fly-over” science addition.

The multi-phased renovation brings the school up to the modern standards for programs, systems, and teaching concepts. The athletic fields were also renovated by realigning some of the fields, providing new lighting on the fields, and combining the varied storage areas into a single, cohesive storage building.

MADISON’S TRUST ELEMENTARY

Madison’s Trust Elementary School (ES-27) is a new elementary school site adaptation for Loudoun County Public Schools. This 875-student, prototypical K-5 elementary school spans a total of 106,000 sf. The school’s two-story configuration provides natural daylight to all classrooms with rooms lining the building perimeter and flanking a central educational courtyard. The steel framed and masonry bearing structure includes brick clad CMU exterior walls. The beautiful brick façade reinforces the classic architectural character of this exciting new school. The design team developed all facets of the project using BIM (Revit) which greatly improved the coordination between Architecture, Incorporated and the design consultant team members. Madison’s Trust serves a growing neighborhood with a beautiful educational environment suitable for the future.
