Schools are currently facing a lot of challenges, including budget shortfalls, outdated facilities, and population fluctuations. These difficulties force schools into a temporary fix instead of a permanent solution.

the need

The basic requirements for a classroom include: natural daylight, good indoor air quality, adequate space, proper temperature control, and good acoustics. This challenge inspired Perkins+Will, a leader in education design, to give schools an alternative through their award winning design ofSprout Space™.

The interior finishes such as the flooring, mildew-resistant walls, paint, and suspended ceiling are all built from low-emitting materials. Walk-off mats at the entry reduce the amount of dirt and particulates that are brought into the classroom. The HVAC system is a high-efficiency split system heat pump that meets the latest LEED® and ASHRAE standards for dehumidification and fresh air for classrooms. An ionization generator is also implemented as an added feature to clean the air and remove air-borne mold and other particulates. When the weather permits, the large bi-fold doors can be opened to provide natural ventilation, fresh air, and reduced energy consumption.

10 Perkins+Will sProut sPace™ Flexible Learning Environments

Sprout Space is very flexible. The dynamic plan is well-suited for various teaching styles, seating configurations, and outdoor learning opportunities. Each classroom opens up to the outdoors through large bi-fold doors. This encourages experiential learning, expands the classroom, and complements a variety of teaching methods.

Average time kids spend indoors

12 Perkins+Will sProut sPace™ Flexible Learning Environments

Sprout Space has a direct relationship with the outdoors. Since the average child spends around 85% of their time indoors, we felt it was important to give teachers the opportunity to teach outside and encourage experiential learning. Students now have the ability to learn outside through the building’s 24-foot bi-fold doors. Designed to enhance learning, the classroom layout is both efficient and adaptable. The main classroom space is the ideal proportion for various seating and table layouts. This allows it to be flexible to various teaching and learning styles. The breakout area provides space for smaller group learning, a reading nook, computer station, and bookshelves.

Demands for improved student performance, concerns about student health, and a continuing need for cost-effective facilities have focused our attention on an integrated design approach known as green building. Integrating green building techniques into the design of Sprout Space result in a demonstrated improvement in student performance, increased teacher satisfaction, reduced operating costs, and a healthier indoor environment.

Sprout Space is an excellent example of passive and active green building strategies. A few of its numerous design features are plug-and-play HVAC system powered by solar; daylight sensors and dual switching of the lights; integrated rainwater collection; low-flow toilet fixtures that reduce water use by 30%; overhanging eaves; efficient modular construction techniques; and environmentally friendly building materials. The materials that we use include FSC-certified wood, high-reflective roofing, bio-based insulation and flooring, and fiber-cement rain screen. This screen is a long-lasting material that helps to reduce the heat load by allowing natural air flow to cool the outside of the wall cavity.


the heating and cooling system, which has the ability to plug into a solar array on the roof, comes with a monitoring system that keeps track of the energy consumption of the building and can be studied and monitored year-round to determine energy savings.

design

19 Perkins+Will sProut sPace™ Design www.perkinswill.com

Sprout Space was designed by architects who specialize in designing schools. The design is both unique and functional. A design feature that immediately stands out is the butterfly roof shape. The roof design enhances the learning experience of the classroom by increasing the ceiling height at the perimeter of the building; this increases the amount of natural daylight into the classroom and improves the views.


unlike other modular buildinGs, the Plan of sProut sPace shifts betWeen modules. The shift in plan maximizes functionality of the space while minimizing the square footage. There is a two-module configuration and a three-module configuration. The two-module configuration shift allows for a well-proportioned 24’x36’ classroom as well a breakout space perfect for smaller learning groups, shelving area, and computer station. The shift also allows for dedicated outdoor learning patio as well as a mechanical room, bathroom, or extra secure storage space.

The three-module configuration can be made into two 18’x36’ classrooms or one large 36’x36’ classroom. The shift in this configuration breaks up the size of the unit and allows for separate space for the learning patio, breakout room, covered entry, bathrooms, and mechanical room.

sProut sPace has been desiGned as a 3-d learninG tool. The butterfly roof that catches rainwater and stores the water in catchments help students learn about capturing water for irrigation, conserving resources, and reducing runoff. The exterior marker boards integrated into the exterior wall panels encourage students to write and learn outside of the classroom and to take advantage of their surroundings during a beautiful day.

advantaGes of modular constructionSprout Spaces are pre-engineered, built in a factory and delivered on site. Constructing the buildings in a controlled environment has many advantages over building them on site such as reduced cost, reduced construction time (on average by 40%), less construction waste, a longer building life-cycle, and the elimination of mold growth during construction.


Time savings

modular construction cuts an average of 40% off the construction schedule. that’s because your structure is builtat a separate location while site work and preparation are underway.

less disrupTion

because major components and modules are fabricated in an environmentally controlled factory, time on site is considerably shorter, and interruption of surroundingbusinesses and residences is minimized.

cosT savings

time is money, and the compressed building schedule and efficiencies allowed by modular construction make it both faster and less expensive than conventional construction.

*simultaneous site development and building construction at the plant means

30% to 50% faster completion
