Building Design Concept Presentation - Schools
Schematic Design Package Summit Middle School | Boulder, Colorado Summit Middle School Schematic Design, April 8, 2015 Architects & Educators 1 | © Fielding Nair International | April 8, 2015 Fielding Nair International Fielding Nair In association with International In association with Dear Summit Community, Thank you for your participation in the exciting process of transforming our school into an innovative state-of-the-art 21st century learning facility which will meet our current and future needs. We are enjoying a productive partnership with Fielding Nair International, known for its innovative school design practices, and with Cuningham Group, whose knowledge of our school building and the local construction environment is invaluable. Boulder Valley School District has also hired FNI as the primary design consultants for the school bond district-wide. We have learned a great deal in the planning process. With each step, we follow one simple guideline: “instruction is guiding construction”. Every day, our incredible teachers engage students in a variety of effective learning strategies including: teacher-directed instruction, student-directed learning, projects, inquiry, peer learning, hands on creation, critical thinking, experimentation, digital learning, field studies, drawing, research, and much more. We also use a variety learning assessments. Viewing our new building concept, it is helpful to understand that 21st century learning starts with core academics connected to global themes like environmental ethics. It incorporates learning and innovation skills including creativity and critical thinking. It includes information and technology skills including media literacy and digital citizenship. It addresses life and career skills including flexibility, resilience, leadership, and responsibility. We have examined our practices, assumptions, and vision concerning 21st century learning and innovative school design. Some people equate innovative learning spaces to open classrooms popular in the 70’s or expect they mirror the corporate offices of Google. FNI has shown us how the intentional design of learning communities creates structure and space that supports multiple modalities of learning and provides a catalyst for active, student-centered engagement and teacher-directed learning. We’ve read books and articles to solidify our learning, including two FNI books: Blueprint for Tomorrow and The Language of School Design. We also read Susan Cain’s bestseller Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. Mr. Teasdale’s research has shown that many of our students and faculty tend to be introverts. This book challenges the assumption that creativity and innovation only improve through collaboration and group work. I am pleased and excited with the work we have done thus far. I invite you to think critically about our work and share your opinions with us so we can make this project the best that it can be. Please note the presentation illustrates our primary Proposed Plan on page 20, but also references an Alternate Plan on page 21 which is under consideration but currently exceeds our budget. Thank you for your support and input.

A portion of this area near the kitchen would be reserved for cafeteria tables at lunch time. The rest of the area would be a center for collaborative learning and community partnership. We would engage in many of our community-related learning activities in this space such as science fair, history day and open enrollment meetings Learning Modalities: Individual reflection Small group collaboration Class presentation Project demonstration Large group presentation Atrium/Common entry space Fielding Nair International 8 | © Fielding Nair International | April 8, 2015 In association with schematic design | Program Administrator/Educator Studio The administration block houses all faculty resources and offices, while providing reception services. The location of these spaces adjacent to the main entrance serves as a secure checkpoint for visitors; as well as being centrally located within the entire facility. This location serves as a resource to both teachers and students. Learning Modalities: Teacher collaboration One-on-one with teacher Individual study and reflection Hillel Day School of Metro Detroit – Teacher’s Studio Fielding Nair International 9 | © Fielding Nair International | April 8, 2015 In association with schematic design | Program Performance/Gathering/Exhibit Hall The Performance/Gathering Hall is a one-of-a-kind space that combines the functions of a traditional performance hall with an informal gathering space. By blending a seating platform with an informal gathering stair, the space can be fully transformed from one setting to the other. Learning Modalities: Large group instruction + performance Individual reflection and study Small group collaboration Student presentation Project display Social learning Fielding Nair International 10 | © Fielding Nair International | April 8, 2015 In association with schematic design | Program Music Room The Music Room is a large classroom-type space with all the amenities for a successful music class. There is plenty of room for students and instruments, used in either an instructional setup or small group practice. This space is adjacent to the shared Stage which can be taken advantage of for practice and live performances. The Practice Rooms supplement the Music Room with small group room spaces. Students can take advantage of these rooms to break away from the larger environment of the Music Room to practice individually or in a small group. These spaces perform acoustically well and are more tailored for a musical setting. Learning Modalities: Large group instruction Project based learning Small group collaboration Music classroom with chairs set up for instruction Fielding Nair International 11 | © Fielding Nair International | April 8, 2015 In association with schematic design | Program Maker Space The Maker Space is a place for doing. This should be an active, engaging, challenging, and creative space for students and teachers to research and explore through the art of making. Resources such as hand tools, technology, materials, etc. provide students with the necessities to learn by doing hands-on projects. This space is adjacent to the Art Studio for more area space and enhanced collaboration on projects. Learning Modalities: Project-based learning Class presentation Small group collaboration Hands-on active learning Real world experiential learning Hillel Day School of Metro Detroit – Maker Space Fielding Nair International 12 | © Fielding Nair International | April 8, 2015 In association with schematic design | Program [Heart/Café] Art/Design Studio The Art Studio is a place to get messy and express yourself through creativity. This space has the resources to create projects with multiple media, and is adjacent to the Maker Space for even more resources. This space can open up to the Maker Space for more area space and enhanced collaboration on projects. Learning Modalities: Project-based learning Small group collaboration Class presentation Stanford d.school Fielding Nair International 13 | © Fielding Nair International | April 8, 2015 In association with schematic design | Program Learning Community Commons The Learning Community Commons houses many different modalities of learning throughout the day. Whether it’s serving as a classroom breakout space, transitional space, full class instructional space, or individual and small group learning space, the commons is always used. Having a common area helps facilitate the learning process in every space of the school without having wasted space just for traveling from one place to another. Learning Modalities: Individual reflection Small group collaboration Large group presentation Class discussion Commons with students transitioning and small group collaborating Commons with small group instruction + collaboration Fielding Nair International 14 | © Fielding Nair International | April 8, 2015 In association with schematic design | Program Learning Studio The Learning Studio replaces the typical classroom space by adding more flexibility, function, and aesthetic. Generally around the same size as a classroom, the Learning Studio can break out to a common space for even more instruction and work space. Students can work in many different group variations inside and out of the Learning Studio, which helps meet each students’ learning needs to help them grow and learn more efficiently. Learning Modalities: Small group collaboration Class presentation Teacher-led instruction Student presentation Learning Studio with small group collaboration Fielding Nair International 15 | © Fielding Nair International | April 8, 2015 In association with schematic design | Program [Learning Community] Seminar Room The Seminar Room starts to break down the traditional classroom into a space that serves up to half a class of students. These students can work as one large group or collaborate in a couple smaller groups. Seminar Rooms usually have supplemental technology to accommodate distance learning, conference calls, and small group presentations and collaborations. Learning Modalities: Individual reflection Small group collaboration Seminar-style instruction Hillel Day School of Metro Detroit – Seminar Room Fielding Nair International 16 | © Fielding Nair International | April 8, 2015 In association with schematic design | Program [Learning Community] Small Group Room The Small Group Room also becomes a breakdown of the traditional classroom. Instead of looking for students to work in small groups or individually in a noisy classroom, students can break out of the Learning Studio to a Small Group Room for individual reflection or small group collaboration in a more conducive setting. These spaces have collaborative furniture and technology to accommodate different learning tasks given to students.
