SITE USE AND FUNCTIONALITY

General Education Classrooms

  • Buildings A & B: These classroom buildings are newly constructed and highly collaborative. A central collaboration area is built into each building and designed in such a way that it can convert to a classroom if enrollment requires.
  • Classrooms have built-in casework at the sink area and mobile shelving. Walls have large areas of writable surface with tackable areas above. Furniture is highly flexible; student desks have wheels and a writable surface.
  • A large retractable wall joins the classrooms to the collaboration area.
  • Presentation technology includes a ceiling-mount projector and pull-down screen.
  • Building C: Classrooms are organized to surround a central pull-out space. Classrooms have a teaching wall and perimeter casework. Students have individual desks and detached chairs. Technology includes a ceiling-mount projector with pull-down screen as well as a mobile LCD monitor.
  • The center of the pod is used for pull-out services and storage.
  • Building E: Classrooms align along a double-loaded corridor. Classrooms have a teaching wall with built-in casework and a sink. Cubbies for student belongings align an interior wall within the classroom. Backpack hooks are also mounted along the interior hallway. Students have individual desks and detached chairs. Technology includes a ceiling-mount projector with pull-down screen as well as a mobile LCD monitor.

Special Education Classrooms
