DESIGN OPPORTUNITIES

CAFETERIA & STUDENT COMMONS

A flexible cafeteria space may be designed to function as an additional learning environment when not used for dining. It might also support informal performances during after school activities. Additional performance spaces would help develop communication and self expression skills to align with goals of the Common Core and the DC Scores Poetry programming.

MEDIA CENTER

INTERMEDIATECLUSTER

ART AND SCIENCE STUDIOS

RECORDING STUDIO

A recording studio might support the DC Scores goals to help students develop a deeper understanding of themselves through written expression and performance. Students would learn communications and media skills; they would also have the opportunity to review recordings of their poetry performances to reflect on and refine their craft.

MEDIA PRODUCTION LAB

Digital media labs are versatile learning environments that allow students to create, edit, refine, and communicate ideas and information. Students could enhance communication, creativity, critical thinking, and media literacy skills through a technologically rich digital arts curriculum that would develop 21st century skills. This lab could also support after school programming.

MEDIA PRODUCTION LAB


DESIGN OPPORTUNITIES

COMMONS

Commons spaces could support Tools of the Minds theme-based play. After school programming such as chess clubs and one on one tutoring could make use of more intimately scaled environments.

COMMONS

Commons spaces could support small group instruction and after school tutoring and social activities. Ample storage should be provided for after school programs and to secure personal belongings during after school activities. Tackable surfaces and display cases should display student work to promote a sense of ownership and pride.

RESOURCE ROOMS

Thoughtful integration of technology and furnishings will create flexible and adaptable resource rooms. These rooms will support teacher collaboration, small group instruction, and after school tutoring programs.

TRANSFORMATION OF EXISTING BUILDINGCLAIRE T. CARNEY LIBRARY

Claire T. Carney Library, located at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, was originally designed by Paul Rudolph between 1962 and 1974. It is of the same era in history as Marie Reed (1971-1977), and of a similar building style. In 2013, the

building underwent a transformative renovation that enhanced the interior environ-ment, increased daylight and visual connection to the exterior, and all at the same

time, maintained the quintessential character of the original building.

EXISTING BUILDING

AFTER RENOVATION


CONSIDERED BUT NOT DEVELOPEDPRELIMINARY CONCEPTS

• Both are costly options

• East side of champlain is ill suited for athlectic program

• Does not take adantage of existing building infra-structure

• Phasing issue - where would tenants go while new facility is being built? (upper right image)
