agenda/notes (notes from the session are included in red text)
6:00 – 6:05 Greetings The session began with a short video entitled “Did you know?” by educator Karl Fisch. Click here for another fascinating video entitled “Education Today and Tomorrow”. (Click the titles to watch the videos on YouTube.)
6:05 – 6:45 Focus Group Summaries Notes and diagrams from focus group activities from June 3rd & 12th were presented, along with the resulting adjustments to the space program.
6:45 – 7:45 Small Group Break-out Activities & Discussions Participants self-selected groups based on the program components listed below. Each group was given two sets of space program “puzzle” pieces along with a preliminary/proposed layout of the spaces within each component. The groups used the puzzle pieces to suggest changes to the preliminary layouts and to address the activity topics listed below.
Groups: A Teams B Exploratory C Reading/Library D Physical Education
ACTIVITY 1: Identify potential shared spaces - Board can share the little theater
ACTIVITY 2: Identify potential space reductions - if Board uses the little theater, then omit the boardroom
ACTIVITY 3: Suggest programmatic adjacencies to support the above - the following diagrams were generated by participants:
7:45 – 8:00 Summary & Next Steps
general comments: - current layouts are approximately 100,00 gross SF; needs to be 87,000 SF max - main focus on student spaces for now; future break-out session for admin. - outside areas not counted as SF for the building (planters, paving, landscaping options) - outdoor reading area & dining area requested by staff and students - discussions needed on size of library/media center
The next Planning Leadership Team session will be scheduled for mid-July.

ideas: - running track around perimeter of gym - health classroom adjacent to gym, locker rooms - fitness/weight room on 2nd floor, but visible - PE/Coach office shared - male and female staff lockers within student locker rooms - adjacent to access door to athletic fields, outdoor equipment storage
|
|
ideas: reading & library - one central library/media center (rather than per pod) - media center & reading room separated to avoid noise - alcoves surround shared reading area - concern that outdoor reading area wouldn’t be used during winter - optional moveable walls in reading room: “nanawall,” collapsible accordion wall |
|
ideas: exploratory - theater/performance and gym separate to avoid schedule, noise conflicts - performance commons (little theater) connects performance platform/choir & dining commons - retractable wall and reverse telescoping seating expands theater seating into dining commons (as shown in section diagram inset) - community commons can extend cafeteria seating (+100 seats) - music office between band/general music room for supervision |
|
ideas: team pods (2 ideas shown) - team pod consists of a cluster (or row ) of learning studios surrounding (or flanked by) project labs, a team living room, teacher center and support spaces (storage, restrooms) - applied learning/project labs are flexible to serve as science lab, computer lab, etc - one large learning studio per team, separated by moveable walls, to allow for large group activities - team living room = hangout space + kitchenette - teaching spaces separate from teacher center (office space) - lockers and restrooms may be located inside or outside the team pod (TBD) |
