The founders of City High School and Paulo Freire Freedom School began discussing together the

creation of a 6-12 educational complex several years ago.

In 2013 agreement was reached to move forward on an initiative to create

such a complex.

The Initiative Included Three Components:

1. The intensive STEM redesign of the two existing schools;

2. The STEM design of a brand new third school (a 2nd PFFS); and

3. The development of the three schools into a 6-12 complex and outreach center.

Education ComplexWill Be The Renovated 21st Century Learning

Spaces at37 East Pennington St.

There are many working examples of 21st Century learning spaces, maker/

design spaces, and innovation labs from

which to draw ideas and inspiration.

In November 2013 we gathered together

significant stakeholders from the two school

communities inside the space at 37 E. Pennington.

We looked at the many working examples of

powerful learning spaces and then participated in a

two hour ‘Design Charrette’ together.

From the ideas generated during the charrette

experience, the following proposals for treatment of

the space were created.
