Several teams of community members, staff members and students came together during the design phase to inform the process of developing site and building plans for a new high school and five new or renovated elementary schools.
Community Building Design Teams
Any and all community members and staff members may participate in these large-group design teams at any point during the design process. These teams will meet during each stage of the process to provide feedback to the Building Steering Committees.
Districtwide Green Team
This districtwide team is made up of community members and staff members interested in studying sustainability opportunities for the new or renovated buildings.
Neighbor Committees
Residents living within 200 feet of the new or renovated school buildings received an invitation from the district to participate in Neighbor Committees that met with and provided feedback to district leadership during the design and construction process. The district contacted these residents directly.
Building Steering Committees
These teams of community stakeholders and staff members worked with the design professionals to inform the development of site and building plans and ensure that all feedback from staff members and the community is reflected in the designs. These teams also worked with the design professionals to ensure the projects stay on budget and on schedule.
User Groups
These teams of staff members working in similar roles (i.e. high school science teachers or maintenance/custodial staff) met during the Design Development (DD) phase to provide feedback on the design of space(s) related to their roles as well as the overall design of the school building.
