VERTICAL DIY METAL MESH GARDEN STANDS WITH LINED CEDAR PLANTER BOXES SUSTAINABLE FLOORING, NO-VOC PAINT, NATURAL CORK BOARDS NEW KITCHEN ISLANDS RE-PURPOSED CONTAINERS FOR ART SUPPLY STORAGE -- CRATES, MASON JARS, PLASTIC MILK JUGS

To excel and grow, our future community leaders need the nourishment (both literal and figurative) offered by the culinary and fine arts just as surely as they need to know math, the sciences and the language arts. This new classroom design creates healthy, sustainable lightfilled spaces in which students’ can pursue this “nourishment” through their cooking, gardening and art projects. Featuring navy blue, aqua and whites (accented by terra cotta pots and the greens of the plants), the colors reflect the school’s logo, which is stenciled on the west-facing walls and partitions.

The healthiness of the space begins with the use of no-VOC paints and bio-based linoleum flooring. Oxygen-emitting herbs and vegetables in pots on wall-mounted shelves and in lined cedar boxes on three vertical garden stands further enhance air quality. The central wall containing key plumbing and electrical lines is further raised to provide wall space for blue recycled rubber recipe boards and wall-mounted shelves for herb pots. Glass panels with decorative glass films of food- and art-related imagery top off this raised wall.

New kitchen islands provide communal counter seating, storage and space for electric ranges. Column-supported overhead shelves at the islands permit installation of ductless vents above the ranges. A new bar-height counter made of recycled post-industrial paper that extends from the west wall provides another eating surface. Folding aqua square tables, stowed away in the storage closet, come out only for meals to provide additional eating surfaces. Stackable stools are used in both the culinary lab and the art studio for ease of storage and mobility. Utensils and culinary equipment stow in two lockable wood veneer cabinets.

The art studio’s design focuses on display of students’ artwork and on efficient and cost-effective storage of art materials. A dedicated sink in the art studio is convenient and hygienic, and natural cork is used for art display pin-up and teacher bulletin boards. While the height-adjustable art tables are meant to remain in place, the drying rack and canvas keeper are both on casters for mobility. Aprons hang on flip hooks near the closet, which contains steel shelves onto which small wooden crates, re-purposed plastic milk jugs and mason jars store paints, paintbrushes, water cups, sponges, sheets of paper and pencil. Rolled paper stows upright in a simply built wood cubbies.

Easels, stacked stools and four folding square cafe tables all tuck away in the closet’s corners.
