A space utilization study of the existing 1922 high school revealed that 60% of the existing high school was not used, rarely used, or used under capacity.
The new high school addition provides spaces that are flexible and have more than one function. Moveable walls, reconfigurable furniture, shared faculty offices, and multi-functional spaces create a 21st century learning environment in a smaller footprint.
Collaboration and coming together was a major focus in the arrangement of the educational spaces. The learning environments extend out of the classrooms and into the lobby and corridor providing a full complement of learning settings, establishing a student-centered learning environment.
- 15% Less Space to Maintain over Lifetime
- Student-Centered Learning Environment
- Multi-Functional Spaces
- Moveable Walls, Reconfigurable Furniture
- Access to Technology Throughout Space
How do we reimagine an inefficient, non-accessible, aging facility to support a technology-driven curriculum for Delavan SD?
With the new, smaller footprint building placed in front of the original high school building, the district was able to create flexible spaces, and focus on student-centered learning experience, while operating during construction.
Implementing technologies throughout the facility eliminated the need for several computer labs while allowing access to technology at all levels of learning environment.
Shared faculty offices were included to create the ability to expand the student population by 25% and the faculty population by 15% without adding additional space in the future.
Spaces allow the basic educational suite to be used every period instead of 80% of the periods.
Fort Worth Independent School District’s Jacquet Middle School is receiving much-needed updates and renovations to create a safe, flexible campus while increasing the facility’s capacity. The 110,000 s.f. renovation includes connecting two additions from 1988 and 2008 and adding office administration space to create a secured entry.
Despite challenges such as rocky terrain and limited usable acreage, the district proceeded, with the new school designed to replace an aging building, which would be repurposed for early childhood education and storage.
Following a successful year-long master planning process, designed to address concerns of aging infrastructure and facility inequities, Lanphier High School was identified as a top priority for revitalization among the district's three high schools.
