| Located on a constricted urban
site, the Willard K-8 School features a compact building
footprint that creates a flexible learning environment. A
technology suite made up of the media center and several
computer labs occupies the heart of the building and divides the
two main academic houses. Grades K-5 are housed in a
two-story wing, with older students located on the upper floor.
A pair of enclosed courtyards are
designed to bring natural light into the center of the building.
The K-5 courtyard will allow access to the courtyard from the
media center and will provide many opportunities for extended
learning. The 6-8 courtyard is surrounded by a suite of
project labs and art classrooms. This configuration will give
art students the opportunity to experience nature within a safe,
controlled environment.
Willard is the first phase of a $160 million district-wide
building program that will result in the construction of four
new K-8 Schools and a new 1,600-student high school for the
urban community of Warren, Ohio. |
