▪▪ We will introduce you to new ideas that spark exciting changes throughout your District.

A Child Learns Imagine a school without boundaries -- a place where learning is not just encouraged, but actually supported and even inspired. Imagine a school where a student’s innate curiosity is fostered. Imagine a place that doesn’t look like a school -- where activities spill out into the community, where professionals stop by to share their knowledge in an informal exchange. Imagine a place that is thoughtful and enlightening, and at the same time efficient, maximizing the community’s resources in new and different ways.

Visioning Building as a Teaching Tool Architecture for Education Incorporated (A4E) believes that the creation of positive and effective learning environments make the world a better place in which to live and contribute to society. School is the first structured environment that children experience outside the home. It is their first public and civic experience. School facilitates learning and assists young people as they become adults. Research shows that children learn more effectively when they make strong connections with the information and skills they are trying to attain. These insights occur most often when students are involved in meaningful experiences, including things like group interaction, hands

on activities, peer teaching, or through contact with the world outside of the schoolhouse walls, i.e. shadowing, internships or apprenticeships. With this kind of focus on experiential learning, thelearning environments can be designed to enhance these most powerful learning experiences.

Community Engagement A4E believes that significant interaction with teachers, students, administrators, maintenance personnel, parents, and members of the community is necessary to the design process. We believe that a broad-based community planning process is a good place to start. It can provide a forum where the community-at-large can learn more about innovative educational ideas, and it can help to develop a plan for leveraging its many physical, cultural, social, economic, organizational and educational assets - so as to support more powerful living and learning. Together we will evaluate your existing campuses, community traditions, and any other elements you wish to incorporate in your project design. When students, parents or community members visit a campus, it is our goal to ensure your project’s defining purpose is clearly evident the opportunities for a quality learning experience easily identified

Through the experience of the professional planners and architects at A4E, combined with resources developed over years of research and implementation, the opportunity now exists for planning and designing the most inspirational learning environments possible. Our process will acknowledge and respect the individual as well as community interests, experience and creativity.

Teaching Methodologies

Building as a Teaching Tool Schools have the responsibility of communicating an aesthetic and perceptual intelligence to the students. Every aspect of the design should be explored as an inherent opportunity for learning. A4E sees buildings as three-dimensional textbooks for the students. Scale, rhythm, and proportion can all be used to teach students design principles. Exposed building systems can be utilized to teach engineering and scientific principles. Let the students perceive the world in a different light.

Sustainability A green or energy-efficient building can save money short term and long term, but it can also achieve a much higher goal in teaching students about energy saving

A Sense of Place Schools are significant buildings in a community. They do more than just provide shelter for students. School architects must facilitate the discovery of the role an educational facility plays in the community. When a school expresses a carefully planned identity, it is much more effective as a learning institution and creates a sense of belonging for its students and community. This sense of place can manifest itself in many ways. It can celebrate a history or tradition, provide specialized learning opportunities, reflect environmental sensitivity and energy efficiency, respond to a natural site feature or landmarks, or even celebrate the life of a local or national hero or culture. In order to be successful, the themes must become implicit in the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design and an authentic part of its development and structure.

Future of Educational Facilities Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sophisticated buildings require efforts from many individuals. Successful projects come from collaborative processes which honor the expertise and efforts of each individual, weaving them together -- attuned to functional, social, and spiritual requirements. The entire team, including clients, architects, specialists, and consultants, must be involved with the project from inception. Each member of the design team must understand and be part of formulating the project goals and striving to reinforce those ideals through every element of the project.

2. Philosophy

At the heart of our work is the goal of creating exceptional learning environments. To be successful, we need to understand the needs of the teacher and students. A4Eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work starts with the understanding of how students learn and what educational activities best facilitate learning. This often means planning and designing learning environments around certain structural models such as academies, clusters, schools within schools, or other organizational alternatives.

principles and encouraging them to be better stewards of the environment. Energysaving principles and design techniques should be communicated to students through the design and be explained through graphics and exhibitory.

Experience A4E’S DESIGN PROCESS A4E believes that a great design will capture the mission of our client, exemplifying their educational goals and program. We deliver creative architecture that is a 3-dimensional representation of that vision. Project success begins by defining its purpose; this purpose is informed by the client, the community, and local heritage and tradition. Our design philosophy integrates creative input with the pragmatic: client goals, approval process, constructability, delivery, schedule and budget. Your projects should be cost-effective, respecting budget constraints and life-cycle costs, without sacrificing long-term operational goals or a distinctive and attractive project. Since A4E focuses only on educational projects, we understand the need for the project’s long life, easy maintenance, flexibility, and durability. Our projects endure over time, both aesthetically and functionally. A4E will make sure your projects include the critical planning elements of maintenance and operations -

integral parts of a superior design. When planning new facilities, diligent identification of efficient operational systems and durable materials is of prime importance, both economically and ecologically. This task requires “big picture” planning and coordination between the design team and your facilities team. When needed, we perform life-cycle cost estimates to evaluate systems and materials choices, allowing your team to make informed decisions that balance durability with cost savings. A4E emphasizes the foundational importance of sustainable practices in school design and construction. Our goal is always to help our clients construct school buildings that perform above the State energy use requirements identified in Title 24. We value the preservation of the planet’s resources and know that building design and construction have a measurable impact on the environment. Experts at “green” building practices and appropriate materials selections, we also access all available energy analysis and modeling programs to design your buildings for maximum efficiency.

RIO SCHOOL DISTRICT K-8 STEAM SCHOOL, NEW CAMPUS CONSTRUCTION RIO SCHOOL DISTRICT OXNARD, CALIFORNIA In close partnership with Rio School District, we employed a variety of planning and finance strategies to author a comprehensive Master Plan that will move this ambitious and forward-thinking District toward 21st century project-based learning on every campus. The new 900 student K-8 campus addresses Rio School District’s progressive vision that true learning occurs with spontaneity and cannot be prescribed or dictated. Rio School District is embarking on their first K-8 school and the first STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) facility in Ventura county. Integral to the design, STEAM Centers encourage handson learning and provide a welcoming, easily accessible Makerspace for technical and creative activities. Each individual center is focused to create interaction and collaboration between grade levels.

3. Experience

Inspired by the adjacent Santa Clara River, the design concept of the “Meander” serves as both an organizational and educational guide for the project. A meander forms when moving water in a river erodes the outer banks and broadens its pathway. Using this metaphor, the “river” that runs through the campus forms the buildings which over time evolve into a variety of spaces based on students’ developmental ages. The pathway of the meander reflects student growth and development, both evolving and changing over time. Reflective of the neighboring river, the learning environments flow naturally from one to another, encouraging students to move easily from lecture, to lab, to special project centers.

GATEWAY COMMUNITY CHARTER K-12 SCHOOL NEW K-12 CAMPUS GATEWAY COMMUNITY CHARTERS SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA

Gateway Community Charters has been serving Sacramento area students since 2003, providing a challenging, inspiring education program for students of need. The Rancho Del Paso campus is the first new school that GCC will construct. A unique facility bringing together K-12 students from three campuses, this school merges diverse student populations while maintaining distinct identities at the new campus,

Elementary

The learning experience is enhanced by the provision of themebased work centers that each classroom cluster surrounds. Every space facilitates learning throughout the campus environment, utilizing structural elements, building materials, and building systems as integral parts of the learning process. While all spaces are compatible and integrated, a notable difference exits between the kindergarten / younger studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; environment and those of the middle and high school students. These transitions recognize and encourage student growth and change; a natural progression from one grade level to another.

3. Experience

The Rancho Del Paso campus is intended as a neighborhood beacon, showcasing the quality educational environment and program GCC offers. The campus has potential to become a Community Center in a part of Sacramento that is currently under-served by public and local agencies. Rancho del Paso K-12 presents a model for engaged, integrated learning - an example of effective program and environment.

SAN LORENZO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT MASTER PLAN OF HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS SAN LORENZO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT SAN LORENZO, CALIFORNIA On November 2, 2004 the San Lorenzo Unified School District (SLZUSD) passed the Measure “E” Bond, approving $49,000,000 for facilities improvements. The first local bond in 40 years, Measure E offered a tremendous opportunity to begin facilities transformation within the District and ensure enhanced educational opportunities for every SLzUSD student. SLzUSD prioritized modernization and new construction projects at the high school campuses across the District. These projects included replacing temporary classrooms with permanent buildings, providing new science labs and renovating existing facilities. Initial facility goals were established using a collaborative Participatory Planning Process, including the District Core Group and Campus Steering Committees. With Board Policy 6040 as a starting point, SLZUSD and Architecture for Education (A4E) worked together to create campus master plans for Arroyo High School, San Lorenzo High School and Royal Sunset High School.

3. Experience

Each Master Plan outlined the scope of work and probable costs, for the projects funded under Measure E, then detailing proposed campus improvements such as a Performing Arts facility at Arroyo High, an Amphitheater and Student Quad for San Lorenzo HS, and a Library/Arts complex at Royal Sunset. Particularly exciting are the Small Learning Communities (SLC) established within the context of the classroom buildings. Changing circulation in and around each building allows corridors to be used for meetings or project research. Decentralized curriculum, counseling and administration offer a support network directly “in the midst” of students’ daily lives. The Small Learning Communities are maintained in the cohesive whole of a comprehensive high school environment, with its own identity and traditions. Completed for the 2008 - 2009 school year, the classroom additions and campus modernizations were a first step in achieving Master Plan goals. New buildings were positioned on each campus to improve circulation and delineate individual SLCs, while offering a refreshed presence in the schools’ neighborhoods.

Phase II construction continued the San Lorenzo USD improvement projects, reinforcing the Small Learning Communities concept established at each high school during Phase I. The Bay Area Digital Arts Academy (BADA) is a key part of the SLC program. BADA offers students industry-standard video, recording and television production via hands-on learning experiences. BADA students explore vocational passions in this contemporary, professional setting. With our assistance, San Lorenzo USD qualified for, and received, maximum funding for this project through the Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CTE Grant Program. This state-of-the-art facility is currently being leased by broadcast professionals for use during offschool hours.

EL MONTE CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT FUTURES PROCESS EL MONTE CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT EL MONTE, CALIFORNIA

El Monte City School District (EMCSD) serves a family-oriented community with multi-generational roots. Many former students return to El Monte to establish careers, homes and families. Wishing to build on this tradition of long-term residency and a welcoming atmosphere for all, El Monte City School District’s Futures/Master Planning process identified a bold new direction forward for program implementation and facilities usage. The District was experiencing a loss of students, beginning at the 4th grade level, and this Planning effort addressed that issue directly. The Futures Planning process set out to explore how best to utilize EMCSD facilities and the El Monte community’s abundant and varied resources. Before making further facilities improvements, the District identified the desired programs, and the potential organizational/business/civic partnerships that will make those programs a reality for the District’s students and families. The Futures process provided EMCSD with precise information on which to base their General Obligation Bond in November, 2014.

3. Experience

Staff/student/parent questionnaires, an open two-day Futures Conference, and several Community Workshops informed a clear direction forward: EMCSD will establish specialty learning programs and community service hubs at various campuses throughout the community. Our thorough Facilities Analysis identified needed additions/ modernization projects at each campus, suggesting additional facilities uses that will house the District’s envisioned program expansions. Each campus will host a learning program that draws on the shared resources of neighborhood partner organizations, and evokes the academic personality of that school. EMCSD is poised to provide their students with a personalized learning approach - educational activities pursued on-campus and in the community, that prepare them for contemporary careers an community leadership.

LEWIS CENTER FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH K-12 & COLLEGE CAMPUS MASTER PLAN APPLE VALLEY, CALIFORNIA

The Lewis Center for Educational Research purchased 150 acres of land at the entrance of Apple Valley, known as the Mojave Narrows. This was the next step in our clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing commitment to expand their educational program excellence, evidenced in the planning and construction of the Academy for Academic Excellence (AAE). The campus is home to 40 endangered / protected species of plants and animals. Students are directly involved in replenishing a native species, the Mohave Tui Chub fish. This project began as an experiment by an AAE student and the school now works in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Fish & Wildlife to supply a continuous source of these fish. Hands-on learning opportunities such as this are encouraged, and supported with planned site-based improvements throughout the campus.

Learning in Action expresses the theme for this County alternative-education high school. On 3.9 acres, this new learning village mingles programmatic components across the site — from athletics, to classrooms, to outdoor play areas, to indoor/outdoor performing arts spaces. Dynamic folding roofs, overhangs and canopies, along with a bold matrix of exterior materials expand on the ‘action’ theme. Our client viewed the opportunity to build a new community school for expelled and at-risk youth as ‘golden’ - a chance to create an environment that fosters students’ return to high school and ultimately on to graduation. Our planning process engaged everyone: County, State, City officials, students, teachers, parents, administrators, probation officers, organizations and local businesses. FRA Students were insistent their new school express a modern aesthetic - “nothing old school about our new school” - and several of their ideas are incorporated in the project’s design. The facility’s flexible plan allows for an additional 25% growth on a campus where students learn and work in a collegiate atmosphere.
