Form Meets Function
A flexible central commons opens into the Discovery Center through a wide hallway lined with built-in cubbies. The two-story Discovery Center is filled with natural light and looks out onto one of the three outdoor learning studios.

A multi-purpose stage supports performances and gatherings of all kinds.
For smaller events, one side of the stage opens up to the main lobby. For larger events, the opposite side of the stage opens up to the cafeteria.
Each five-classroom learning neighborhood—one per grade level—includes a central activity area.

Flexible collaboration was achieved through grade-level learning communities, with six classrooms surrounding a multifunctional activity commons. This activity commons serves as a space for STEM activities, grade-level presentations, indoor recess, push-in remediation, and more.
Connected to each activity commons, an outdoor courtyard or balcony offers an additional learning environment.
An operable wall connects the gymnasium and cafeteria, creating a large gathering space when opened or maintaining separation of spaces for lunchtime and P.E. classes when closed.
