As part of a district-wide master plan implementation for Champaign Schools, BLDD brought the International Prep Academy (IPA) to life. This transformational educational environment helps diverse students learn in future-focused ways. Intentional features such as operable walls and flexible seating allow easy collaboration and project-based learning while bilingual teams and faculty will be able to share students without leaving the classroom area. At the heart of IPA is the two-story commons space. This open gathering space acts as the lobby for sporting events, cultural events, a dining and cafeteria space throughout the day, and a performance space with tiered seating area and access to a stage. The upper commons overlooks the stage below and offers access to a large media center that will be home to a bilingual library that serves the school’s mission to support its diverse student community.
