INTRODUCTION The University of Louisiana at Lafayette is forging ahead with plans of creating a new laboratory school. The purpose is to provide students with an education that relies on model teaching methods and an innovative curriculum. Conventional learning environments reveal issues of overcrowding, standardization, and lack of communication. Alternative learning environments, based internationally and within the United States, provide students with various educational opportunities. There are numerous approaches to education, each having their own pros and cons. Both sociological and psychological factors take affect on students within these settings. A newly designed laboratory school aims to provide equity, innovation, and opportunity for all Louisiana students.

CONVENTIONAL SCHOOLS

TEACHING METHODS AND CLASSROOM ELEMENTS

CLASSROOM LAYOUTS LACK INNOVATION: Most schools look the same as schools did a century or more ago.

■ ■ ■ ■

Desks lined in rows Teacher in front lecturing the class Students learning at the same space Students expected to perform at the same level classroom in 1950

LECTURE-BASED LEARNING: This is a teaching method that doesn’t allow students to openly discuss the topic; excluding them from their own education.

Most subjects benefit from interactive, hands-on approaches. Because of this, many schools require studios or labs in addition to lecture.

modern classrooms

16

Nora Bauder

INFORMATION OVERLOAD: Information overload is when teachers give students ample amounts of random, disorganized, information. Without filtering, students struggle to understand and connect the information given.

michiganradio.org

ABSENCE OF CRITICAL THINKING: Most traditional schools use a “one right approach equals one right answer” model when teaching.

This teaches students that there is only one correct solution to a given problem. This can lead to problems in career success.

ABSENCE OF COLLABORATION: ■ Teaches students collaboration is bad ■ Leads to future collaboration issues in the work place

ABSENCE OF TECHNOLOGY IN CLASSROOMS: With technology students would have fast, accurate and more efficient access to information and data.

TAG PROGRAMS: TAG or “Talented And Gifted” programs are used in schools to identify and single out the most advanced students and provide them with individualized learning initiatives. This is problematic in that other students aren’t getting the same attention.

FACTORS THAT CAN AFFECT STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT: ■ lighting ■ air circulation ■ class size ■ classroom layout ■ classroom temperature ■ wall colors ■ acoustics

HAS THERE BEEN AN INCREASE IN CLASS SIZE? BASED ON 680 TEACHER RESPONSES

LIGHTING: Most schools use fluorescent lighting which doctors believe can have adverse effects on learning and overall health

THEY HAVE INCREASED

AIR CIRCULATION: Many schools are not up to date with their ventilation systems. 1/3 of US schools have mold, dust, and other indoor air pollutants which can lead to respiratory issues like asthma.

INCREASING CLASS SIZE: The more students in a class, the less time an instructor has to address individual student issues.

Larger class sizes lead to: ■ higher student struggle ■ decreased academic performance

ISSUES INSIDE CONVENTIONAL CLASSROOMS OVERCROWDING AND DROPOUT RATES

OVERCROWDING: Overcrowding is one of the biggest issues in schools today.

Increasing population and decreasing school funding has caused class sizes to rise. Ideally, classes should be capped at 15-20 students. However, many classrooms exceed 30 students. Overcrowding also affects: ■ grades ■ noise levels ■ discipline ■ technology ■ attention

20

GRADES: Because the teacher cannot have one-on-one interactions with students, the students that need the most help will continue to struggle. This leads to an overall drop in grades.

NOISE LEVELS: Louder classroom environments lead to: ■ distractions ■ difficulty for students to learn ■ difficulty for teachers to teach

DISCIPLINE: Larger classes lead to personality conflicts that can ultimately lead to tension and disruptive behavior.

TECHNOLOGY: Larger classrooms lead to space saving issues. There becomes not enough space to accommodate things to promote learning such as computer labs.

ATTENTION: Students tend to not pay attention in overcrowded classrooms and are instead found: ■ nodding off ■ sleeping ■ daydreaming ■ texting ■ working on something for another class

Oriana Vega, Hayden Rose

EVERY YEAR 1.2 MILLION STUDENTS DROP OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL IN THE US.

DROPOUTS: Attendance is another issue facing teacherstudent relationships; many students just are not showing up to class.

In early grades, chronic absenteeism can lead to future school dropout.

7,000 A DAY

In the U.S., high school dropouts commit about 75% of crimes.

The dropout rate has only fallen 3% f rom 1990 to 2010 (12.1% to 7.4%).

A high school dropout will earn $200,000 less than a high school graduate over his lifetime. And almost a million dollars less than a college graduate.

STUDENT-TEACHER RELATIONSHIPS

IS SCHOOL REALLY A SAFE PLACE: TEACHER-STUDENT BULLYING

TEACHER-STUDENT BULLYING : Some teachers do not realize that students are people too. They have their own opinions on things and are worth being listened to and respected. Teacherstudent bullying is a result of the teacher feeling threatened by the student. Acts of bullying can be, but are not limited to: ■ publicly singling a student out for misbehavior ■ ignoring a student who is having problems learning the lesson

22

WHY IS THERE A STUDENT-TEACHER DISCONNECT? The disconnect within the differences between the students and teachers: ■ students want to feel in control; so they challenge authority figures ■ personality differences ■ family background ■ thought processes ■ learning styles ■ priorities ■ maturity levels ■ academic goals

EFFECTS OF TEACHERSTUDENT BULLYING : ■ lack of trust the teachers ■ complete withdrawal of the student from the teachers ■ poor student-teacher relationships ■ students lashing out and badmouthing a teacher ■ school becomes an unsafe place

IMPROVING STUDENT-TEACHER RELATIONSHIPS: Instructors should always try to show appreciation, respect, kindness and patience to students.

Oriana Vega, Hayden Rose

STANDARDIZED TESTS OVERUSED AND UNRELIABLE

Failures in the education system have been blamed on rising poverty levels, teacher quality, tenure policies, and, increasingly, on the pervasive use of standardized tests.

(NCLB) NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT: Standardized test have been in America since the mid-1800s. But in 2002, this NCLB mandated that annual testing must take place in each state.

As a result of this mass standardized testing US world rankings in math, science and reading have decreased between 2000-2015.

■ math: 18th to 40th ■ science: 14th to 25th ■ reading: 15th to 24th

24

ISSUES WITH STANDARDIZED TESTING: ■ inaccurately measures a students knowledge ■ only evaluates a narrow range of achievement ■ interrupts the flow of learning ■ takes up 15 hours of time ; not counting training and preparation ■ is not adaptable to diversity; language and disability barriers ■ limits time teaching art, music, and physical education

LANGUAGE AND DISABILITY BARRIERS: ■ unfair to students unfamiliar with American cultural conventions ■ unfair to students with disabilities ■ unfair to non-English speaking students

WHY? A test with 50 multiple choice questions cannot accurately measure the knowledge and skill a student possesses in a particular subject matter.

RESULTS: ■ teach-to-the-test instructing approach ■ failure in the education system

Oriana Vega, Hayden Rose

COMMON CORE

INTRODUCING STANDARDIZATION

COMMON standards are common/ uniform across all grades and states

WHAT IS COMMON CORE? Launched in 2009 as a state-led program, the Common Core Standards focus is to ensure the education of children and to prepare them for adulthood and a successful career.

CORE math and english language arts are the only core subjects to be addressed

STATE state standards are to be developed and implemented

STANDARDS address standards only, not curricula

26

ELA (ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS) The standards establish guidelines for English language arts (ELA) as well as for literacy in history, science, and technical subjects. Students must learn to read, write, speak, listen, and use language effectively in a variety of content areas.

MATHEMATICS The mathematics program is designed to follow the teachings of William Schmidt and Richard Houang. Not only does it stress conceptual understanding of key ideas, but is also stresses organizing principles such as place value and the laws of arithmetic to structure those ideas. This follows the system of using the “sequence of topics and performances.�

Rachel Smith

STATES IN THE US THAT HAVE ADOPTED COMMON CORE

WHO USES COMMON CORE? Forty-one states, the District of Columbia, four territories, and the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) have adopted the Common Core State Standards shown in the map below.

LIMITATIONS OF COMMON CORE: ■ standardized testing ■ socioeconomic discrimination ■ lack of content ■ “one-size-fits-all” courses ■ no improvement in test scores

STANDARDIZED TESTING: Standardized testing is used to compare student’s scores across the board.

The assessment however does not measure a student’s true skills.

instituteforlearning.com

SOCIOECONOMIC DISCRIMINATION: The common core program discriminates socioeconomically. The city limits for school enrollment does not give equal opportunities to learn

LACK OF CONTENT: Courses lack context to the classroom. The courses taught do not give real world meaning for students to understand why learning is important.

“ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL” COURSES: Common core creates courses for one type of student in mind, however students learn in many different ways, which restricts learning processes.

NO IMPROVEMENT IN TEST SCORES: The program was put in place to raise testing scores, but in fact the scores have decreased throughout the years of using common core.

THE ROLE OF JOHN DEWEY

IN THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION

JOHN DEWEY: A scholar who believed in learning by doing and saw that conventional schools were lacking in many aspects that encouraged growth in knowledge.

LAB SCHOOLS: In 1894, Dewey established the University of Chicago Laboratory School in efforts to transform the education system in America. His progressive approach to experimental education led to many advances in teaching methods in the classroom.

PHYSICAL FACTORS

SECURITY MEASURES IN SCHOOLS THE AFFLICTIVE JOURNEY TOWARDS SAFETY School policy has been evolving for decades, sometimes in reaction to major incidents of school violence, sometimes in response to societal changes and trends in the area of public safety.

More recently, states and individual districts have, to some extent, been turning away from policies that allow unfettered use of consequences that lead to students’ absence from school.

2004 Congress approves a version of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act that requires, for the first time, every state to monitor the discipline of students with disabilities by race and ethnicity.

2001 The No Child Left Behind Act passes late that year, calling on states to identify “persistently dangerous schools” and allow students attending them to transfer elsewhere.

FLEXIBLE LEARNING SPACE ARRANGEMENTS REQUIRE A VARIETY OF FURNITURE FURNITURE AND LEARNING Furniture in a learning environment is a vital part of styles of learning and lesson plans. Different desk and seating varieties help accommodate learning preferences and provide a exible way to change a classroom layout. Seating options allow students to have a preference according to their attention spans.

INDIVIDUAL LEARNING The traditional individual desks are most ideal for students who tend to prefer individual work and learning over group work. Additional walls and elements to create a more enclosed space help students who prefer individual learning to have a private space to work.

COCOON SEATING A cocoon seating option is built into a book case. The cocoon like seating makes a more private study or reading area for individual students.

72

SPLIT TOP DESK The split top desk features an elevating desk that can be used for drafting or comfortability when writing. It also has a built in for a computer and monitor.

COLOR PSYCHOLOGY

SHOULD BE PAIRED WITH LEARNING EXPERIENCES COLOR PSYCHOLOGY Color is an inseparable part of our day. We experience color through emotion, productivity, communication, and learning. Secondary colors (colors made by the mixing of red, yellow, or blue) combine the energies of the primary colors.

Red promotes feelings of energy or threat depending on the intensity in conjunction to repetitive or detailed tasks

Orange and peach tones work well in athletic facilities, drama, media centers, and cafeterias. These colors also pair well with a cool color palette to prevent over stimulating.

The vibrancy of yellow works well in creative centered rooms such as art classrooms and language classrooms. The vibrancy of yellow helps promote a creative mind.

80

Kendle Shipp

Purple is used as an attention grabbing color. It combines the energy of red and the concentration of blue to make an eye catching color.

Blue tones go well in science and math based classrooms. Blue tones are proven to help lower heart rate and allows for concentration.

Greens are good for counseling centers, libraries, history, and social studies classrooms.

The color green also has the calming properties of blue and creativity from yellow.

colorobjects.com | color-meanings.com

COLOR IN CLASSROOMS Children in preschool and elementary schools prefer warmer color palettes to help promote a sense of calmness and curiosity.

High school and postsecondary students prefer a cool tone color pallet. Cool tones tend to promote focus and help studying and concentration

CLASSROOM STRATEGIES

VARY BY SUBJECT: MATH AND SCIENCE

COLOR Color coded furniture and stations are best to indicate different learning spaces.

Blue is best associated with science and math based classrooms.

ARRANGEMENTS Science and experiment classrooms should have group desks that all face towards an instructor’s station and angled for the best student views

82

GROUP SEATING Science- based classrooms should have group tables for collaborative work and spaces for experiments.

Kendle Shipp

DESKS Math classrooms work well with individualized seating for the option of individual focus.

Traditional desks are also able to be grouped for group learning.

COLOR Blue goes well with math for calming properties and purple is used for important attentiongrabbing details.

ARRANGEMENTS Math based classrooms work well with stadium style seating facing an instructor or white board. stadium seating allows for individual and small group work.

CLASSROOM STRATEGIES

VARY BY SUBJECT: READING/SOCIAL STUDIES AND CREATIVE SPACES

COLOR Green tones work best for indicating social studies and English learning spaces.

SEATING A “U” or stadium seating arrangement works best in English or social studies based lectures for group reading and Socratic seminar based lessons.

84

INDIVIDUAL SEATING Comfortable seating options should be implemented in these learning environments for compromising for individual focus preferences.

Kendle Shipp

SEATING Large tables with plenty of room for individual space for creating and a lifting top make for a multifunctional work space. Storage for supplies and work in the desk are ideal for material convenience.

COLOR Yellow pairs well with creative spaces while orange pairs well with drama centered learning environments.

CRITIQUE SPACE A space for students and teachers to review work together is ideal in an art classroom. A place to congregate and display work for a collaborative learning space is needed.

SOCIOLOGICAL FACTORS DIVERSITY IN THE CLASSROOM

DEFINING DIVERSITY Every student, regardless of background, brings original ideas and unique experiences to the table. The term “diversity” covers a wide range of characteristics; race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, ability, age, religious belief, or political conviction all play a part in the identity of an individual.

THE STATISTICS: A MAJORITY MINORITY Diversity is at an all-time high in the United States today.

As of 2014, Black, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American children made up the majority of the 50 million students in public schools. With this, must come a more accommodating style of teaching, being that each group of students’ background may vary.

CURRENT DIVERSITY CHALLENGES ■ Children separate themselves with others who aren’t like them ■ More than 80% of the educational workforce is white ■ Classrooms with many students of different learning speeds and comprehension levels ■ Diversity is not addressed in some classrooms since it is often seen as a sensitive subject ■ Preschool access, racial disparities in student discipline, and stark achievement gaps show black and Hispanic students far behind their white and Asian peers

BENEFITS OF DIVERSITY IN THE CLASSROOM ■ Teaches students to appreciate different perspectives ■ Challenges students to be considering of other groups ■ Prepares students for real-world encounters ■ Having teachers of color increases performance

MAKING ACCOMMODATIONS ■ Curriculum that speaks from a wide range of voices ■ Group projects that require breaking out of boundaries ■ Be willing to address inequalities

SOCIOLOGICAL EFFECTS ON EDUCATION IMPACT OF PERSONAL LIFE ON KIDS IN SCHOOL LEARNING DISABILITIES Learning disabilities affect more than 10% of the student population today, about 2-3 children per classroom.

These children are 31% more likely to be bullied, 3x as likely to drop out, and 2x more likely to grow up to become jobless adults when they are not provided with the right support needed to succeed in their education.

Ensuring that teachers are aware of these disabilities and provided the necessary tools and learning spaces makes it easier and more comfortable for learning to take place.

GENDER AND SEXUALITY LGBTQ+ face more bullying than any other demographic. The bullying is more likely to be ignored or mishandled by faculty and staff. Some teachers feel uncomfortable talking to their students about gender and sexual orientation due to personal beliefs about what is and isn’t appropriate. This has led many educators being incapable of providing safe and inclusive learning environments. New studies have also found that children raised by same-sex couples have better standardized test scores and are 7x more likely to graduate from high school than kids from different-sex parent families.

FAMILY STRUCTURE A child’s home can have a major impact on their school performance and ability to focus in class. Children of divorce are 2x more likely to drop out of school. Family structures also play a role in GPA, standardized test scores, and enrollment/completion of college.

SOCIOECONOMICS

SCHOOL PROGRAM FUNDING AFTER-SCHOOL FUNDING TO SERVE STUDENTS Along with diversity and other factors, socioeconomics also plays a huge roll in every learning environment.

With this, after-school programs provide a lifeline for families and communities across the nation. They act as a safe and supervised space for kids to engage in creative educational activities with caring adults and mentors.

An effective after-school program can turn aimless hours into productive learning time. That’s a big benefit for kids with learning and attention issues. If the afterschool program isn’t run by the school district or a facility nearby, children can get to know different kids than those they see at school.

An effective after-school programs help students catch up in class and gain confidence, administrators say, and offer extracurricular opportunities in a secure, supervised environment.

BACKGROUND Students go to class with a variety of experiences, financial status, and skills.

As our country addresses challenging economic times, the odds of a student from an economically disadvantaged background enrolling is substantially high.

SUPPORT SYSTEM San Diego Unified, which manages its own 21st Century funds, offers academic support including tutoring, credit recovery classes and college tours, said Lisa McDonnell, program supervisor for the grant program.

It also pays for team sports, including off-season soccer and basketball, and activities such as art, dance, music, cooking, cyber security, computer gaming and anime.

They can also choose from a menu of other activities geared toward specific interests. In Cougar University’s Farm to Table club, agriculture and culinary art students work together to grow and prepare healthy food.

“If they need extended help in math, we offer that,” said program coordinator Jud Bordman, noting that most of the tutors are credentialed teachers. “For any subject, we offer additional tutoring after school that is a much lower (student to teacher) ratio than in class…. The program helps us provide extended core instruction for our kids.”

“After-school programs address the needs of the whole child, including the all-important soft skills, such as critical thinking, communication, teamwork and creativity, which industry leaders tell us are crucial in the workplace,” Velásquez wrote in his op-ed.

DEFINING HOW THE STUDENT MIND WORKS IS ESSENTIAL FOR DESIGNING LEARNING SPACES

96

GROWTH MINDSET Students’ beliefs or perceptions about intelligence and ability affect their cognitive functioning and learning.

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE What students already know affects the way they learn new material.

LIMITS OF STAGE THEORIES Cognitive development and learning are not limited by general stages of development.

FACILITATING CONTEXT Learning is based on context, so generalizing learning to new contexts is not spontaneous, but rather needs to be facilitated.

Mallori LaCour

psychlearningcurve.org

SELF REGULATION Students’ self-regulation assists in learning and self-regulatory skills can be taught.

CREATIVITY Student creativity can be fostered and embraced in the classroom.

PRACTICE Acquiring long-term knowledge and skill is largely dependent on practice.

FEEDBACK Clear, explanatory and timely feedback to students is important for learning.

97

WHAT AFFECTS THE WAY STUDENTS LEARN

IS CRUCIAL TO HAVING A SUCCESSFUL CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT

98

Students who have this mindset know that intelligence is malleable and success is related to effort level.

Students add to their existing knowledge and correct misconceptions or errors in existing knowledge.

Helps students understand how their beliefs about intelligence can influence their own academic success.

Prior knowledge can be used to help students incorporate background knowledge and draw connections between units during the course.

Mallori LaCour

psychlearningcurve.org

Facilitate learning by designing instruction that utilizes scaffolding, differentiation and mixed ability grouping.

Student growth and deeper learning are developed when instructors help students transfer learning from one context to another.

Give advanced students a chance to work with others who challenge them.

Have students use their understanding of a particular unit to generate potential solutions for real-world problems.

CONTINUING TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN STUDENT AND TEACHER UNDERSTANDING IS IMPORTANT

100

Students focusing on being attentive, organization, selfcontrol, planning and memory strategies improve learning and engagement.

Structure assignments to increase creativity and ideas for how to model creative problem solving.

Highlighting learning targets, use of classroom calendars, and breaking tasks into manageable components are examples of how to help students with self regulation.

Creativity can be taught, nurtured and increased.

Mallori LaCour

Issue formative assessment frequently through practice problems, activities and sample tests.

This principle highlights the importance of instructor responses.

Practice tests should include open-ended questions that require both the retrieval of existing knowledge and the challenge of applying that information to new situations or context.

Indicates the best manner in which to deliver feedback to students in order to maintain or increase motivation to learn.

Consider all elements in the classroom.

PLAY INTRODUCTORY GAMES Have students introduce themselves to the class by saying their name and one thing such as an embarrassing moment, their biggest dream for the future, their happiest memory, the most interesting place they’ve visited, etc.

EMBRACE CREATIVITY Allow students to create artwork for your walls or give them time throughout the day to indulge in arts and crafts.

CLASSROOM PARTNERSHIPS Have students introduce themselves to a partner, and then have each student introduce their partner to the class. This method helps take the pressure/spotlight off the speaker.

CLEAN INTERIOR AIR Keep the dust bunnies away and attempt to let new air in at every opportunity. It will keep your classroom lively.

Mallori LaCour

VARY TEACHING METHODS Mix up the type of teaching you are using daily whether that be hands on, technology based, typical lecture, etc. It will keep students intrigued and interested to learn.

BE OPEN ENDED WITH STUDENTS Inconsistency in word, behavior, or action is confusing to students and will deeply affect their trust in you. Don’t bring tension and unhappiness to your classroom.

education.cu-portland.edu | blog.esllibrary.com | smartclassroommanagement.com

MAINTAIN TIDINESS An attractive room environment speaks volumes about how you value respect, work habits, and expected behavior.

When they enter your classroom they should feel as if they’re walking into a world that makes sense.

BE MINDFUL OF STUDENT’S EMOTIONS Few students do well in a tension-filled classroom, but those with difficult lives outside of school have a particularly rough time—often shutting down, staring off into space, or engaging in serious misbehavior. Make your classroom a pleasant environment.

HAVE A CLASSROOM PET Hamsters, bunnies, and aquarium fish teach us so much about behavior, diet, and socialization.

Pets also fuel children’s natural fascination with animals, so they naturally enhance the classroom environment.

RELATIONSHIPS THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM HAVE TO COINCIDE IN ORDER FOR EVERYONE TO GAIN THE BENEFITS

SCHOOL TO TEACHER The school has to provide teachers with the training and resources they need to implement high quality project based learning.

Teacher preparation programs are necessary so the workforce is equipped with the correct mindset.

106

TEACHER Teachers should collaborate with other teachers to create an authentic learning experience.

Teachers should share effective classroom strategies and ďŹ ne tune their lesson plans based off the previous experience others have had.

Sydney Deville

TEACHER TO STUDENT Teachers should communicate what is expected of students early.

STUDENT Students get to build communication skills in the classroom with teachers and classmates.

Teachers should listen to student feedback and use it to adjust instruction.

Students get accustomed to working with others & being team players.

Teachers provide support and empathy.

Students get to hone in on presentation skills and other social skills that will be useful in the working world.

Teachers facilitate thinking, growth, and engagement.

UNDERSTANDING HOW DISABILITIES AFFECT

THE MIND IS IMPORTANT FOR UNDERSTANDING WHAT STUDENTS NEED ACCOMODATIONS Psychological issues in special needs children are sometimes a result of feelings of seclusion and other times feelings of needing to be secluded.

The accommodations listed below are intended by lab schools to serve as a tool to help improve the emotional state and quality of life for the child.

Facilitate tactile learning and bring unity into the classroom.

108

Reevaluating the seating charts in today’s school system could bring a more productive learning environment for all students.

Kelsey Binkley

Bring the arts and music back into the school system. This could be used as a calming technique or simply an outlet for children to calm themselves.

SITE-WIDE FLOOR TO AREA RATIO DIAGRAMS

PROVIDE THE CONTEXT FOR BUILDING SIZES FLOOR TO AREA RATIO The ratio of a building’s total floor area, to the size of the piece of land upon which it is built, describes the potential in what can be constructed on the specific plot of land.

ZONING Both sites in proximity to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette are simultaneously considered to be R-2 Residential plots of land. This examination also spotlights the proximity of each site to the education building on the nearby campus, drawing attention to the fact that the two facilities would function in tandem.

300 ST. JULIEN AVE. ONE STORY FLOOR TO AREA RATIO

300 ST. JULIEN AVE. TWO STORY FLOOR TO AREA RATIO 132

Sam Campbell, Clark Malchow, Katelyn Reynolds

RESTRICTIONS The purpose of R-2, multifamily residential district zoning is to provide for medium to high density housing in multi-family structures.

Development standards include a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet, a maximum height of 20 feet, a minimum area per dwelling unit of 2,500 square feet, and minimum front, side, and back yard sizes of 25 yards. If a school were to be developed within this fabric, it would be crucial to adhere to these codes, alongside the contextual idea of the building ďŹ tting in the area.

CONDITIONS Traffic is slightly heavier around 3 PM, rather than early in the morning.

By adding a school to the Julien site, the residential traffic will be light in the mornings and will progress during the time the school releases students. The school population will increase the traffic on the main roads leading into neighborhoods. On Girard, building a school within the site will be a little more crowded when it comes to traffic.

The site is surrounded by busier streets and is located closer to the downtown area.

PALEY PARK

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK ZION & BREEN (1967) A biophillic design has been interpreted within Paley Park, creating a calming and creative environment for inhabitants. The lush green walls stimulate intellectuals, compared to the dull, monotoned walls that we associate many schools with these days. Green space within the classrooms and public spaces of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s laboratory school would only promote the main campus’s nationally renown green spaces and safe havens for wildlife.

By providing an alternative to the wellknown, conventional playground, children can have fun during recess times, alongside the times of learning.

SINGAPORE Studio 55 (2015)

Bold colors are immediately seen when approaching Singapore based primary school precedent. These colors communicate an exciting environment which stimulate students to learn within the school’s walls, inside and out. The unique palate and structure is an immaculate idea that should be developed within the design of The University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s lab school.

The development of an original design will not only contribute to the community, but also to the educational community and all the lives it will educate.
