Chagrin Falls Exempted Village Schools Master Plan Presentation

November 22, 2013

Key Drivers

• Board of Education needs data for a strong strategic

plan

• Most buildings are nearing or beyond their useful life.
• Inflexible spaces for 21st century teaching methods
• Significant occupant comfort issues in all buildings
• High maintenance/operational costs
• No “swing space” within the District
• High square footage per student
• Very favorable construction and finance costs

Process

DISCOVERY WORKSHOPS

• Gauge public sentiment toward facilities
• Learn how Chagrin Falls applies its educational

philosophy

• Discuss how building design can support teaching and

learning

• Explore potential of existing buildings
• BUILDING ASSESSMENTS
• CREATE MASTER PLAN and CONCEPTUAL

DESIGN

• FORMULATE BUDGETARY COSTS/

RECOMMENDATIONS

Discover Workshop Summary

• Tradition/History are very important
• Feel Chagrin Falls students are well

prepared for the future

• PAC is a valued asset
• Strong desire for 21st Century learning

environments

• HVAC problems in all buildings
• Safety/Security extremely important
• Strong connection to Intermediate School

as a building, not necessarily as a school

• Libraries are not Media Centers
• Quality athletic facilities are a strong driver

(fields, gym, pool)

What does 21st Century learning look like?

TYPICAL CLASSROOM WING EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR 21ST CENTURY EDUCATION

21ST Century Education

A corridor becomes an extended learning environment

Dining encourages collaborative learning A stairwell becomes a learning tower

Supporting/Supplemental files/Images

Every space within the school is used for educational purposes. Student artwork is celebrated throughout the Academy.

The Neighborhood Academy

Gaming is used as a learning tool to support differentiated instruction for kinesthetic learners

The Neighborhood Academy

The traditional classroom extends into the corridors. Garage doors provide privacy when needed but also allow supervision of extended learning environments.

The Neighborhood Academy

Educational utilization is maximized through extended collaborative learning in the corridors. Circulation through these spaces is minimized by perimeter classroom locations, providing a single loaded corridor effect.

Beachwood High School

Play is incorporated into the literacy curriculum via the alphabet walk and carefully selected play equipment.

Springfield Literacy Center

The Library takes the place of a lobby and is the first interior space experienced by students and visitors.

Springfield Literacy Center

The classroom extends into the single-loaded circulation system to maximize educational utilization. The separation is transparent to allow the teacher to monitor activity. Small group instruction areas are located between classrooms for literacy intervention. They are separated by sliding barn doors.
