The education innovation cycle
Schools are creating students to act in a
fictitious world.
Break out of school–
look outwards.

Benchmark beyond education
Classroom Google
We need cross-pollination.
Cross pollinators draw associations and connections between seemingly unrelated ideas or concepts to break new ground.
Every decision we made had to answer the question...Does this look like a high school?
Would you see this in a high school? If so, then we made a different decision.

Floor Plan
Forum spaces for presentations of learning and projects to class and community.
Rethinking the corridor to empower spill-over projects, spontaneous interaction, and interdisciplinary exposure.
Empower the professionalism + collaboration of teachers to fuel multi-directional learning and interdisciplinary projects.
Technology and space to support global connectivity + collaboration in preparation for the global economy.
Today, the lines between work + play
+ learning are blurred, look to third
spaces such as cafés for creating
comfortable places to collaborate.
