Comparative Building Costs

摘要

This 189,600-square-foot middle school is divided into small learning communities for project-based learning. Small academic neighborhoods clustered around collaborative "town centers" provide students with homes for self-directed, small group, and large-group learning. Space for the individual learning modalities within each neighborhood is developed with breakout areas, ceiling height variations, connections to the outdoors, and reconfigurable furnishings. Computer stations, sound reinforcement, television, and electronic projection capabilities supplement the learning environment.
