When it comes to each Facilities Master Plan, students are the inspiration. Guided by the vision of Sunnyvale School District, Learning Space Design Standards (also referred to as the Vision) has been created. This document outlines the District’s philosophy, programs, goals and functional characteristics—then translates them into design guidelines for learner-centered spaces that will successfully support both today’s and tomorrow’s students. This document is aspirational in nature and provides a future design team with parameters to strive for.
