W E S T H AV E N HIGH SCHOOL
PAIGE FOLKEN COMMERCIAL II EDUCATION DESIGN PROJECT BINDER
PROJECT SCOPE West Haven, Utah is building a brand new high school to accommodate the local students and improve quality of education. The design is driven by the evolution of education, creating more collaborative zones and fewer traditional classrooms. The project scope includes the grades 9-12 classrooms and a media center to encourage the students to engage with each other, as well as take advantage of the resources available.
INSPIRATION West Haven high school students are in their pursuit to succeed and begin their adult life. Experiencing the
transition
challenges
the
students in preparing for their future.
Inspiration is derived
from being bold, confident and unapologetically unique. With the selection of colorful finishes and fun architecture, students will feel inspired in creative thinking and expression. Neutral tones are incorporated to ground the bold color and balance the space.
FINISH SELECTIONS Taking inspiration from bold images featuring highly saturated primary tones, the selected finishes will create a fun, lively enviroment for the students to learn. Several solid upholsteries were chosen to ensure the space is not too distracting. The rich colors are balanced out with neutral flooring and incorporating light oak wood throughout the architecture.
BIOPHILIA Education and workplace design has evolved tremendously when it comes to productivity and environmental growth. Biophilic design is an innovative method that plays a large role in several design markets, due to the daily impact it gives to the users of the spaces. It is shown to be successful in directing students to a more productive and healthy habitat and reconnecting them to the natural world outside. Incorporating a live wall in the media center helps to utilize wasted space as well as take advantage of the positive impacts of biophilic design.
CLASSROOMS
PRELIMINARY DESIGN The West Haven High School classrooms are going to be made up of four different zones. There are two traditional classrooms, aimed for lectures and lessons. Encouraging collaboration,
the
seating
is
grouped
together. Writable surfaces are essential for visual learning and lecturing.
Connected to each classrooms are work rooms, including books, screens, and work space. There are spaces to accomodate individual and group work. Screens can be utilized for research, presentations, etc.
