morfo

Any recommendations for innovative school projects in terms of new use of classroom space or planning, new technologies applied, computer use or maybe innovative materials?? This is for a feasibility study for an interntaional school. We are looking to bring in some new concepts into school design and hope to find smoe more reference. Any reco is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Science Center Elementary, specifically for the shared lab layouts. The materials, etc. are not so good, but that is one aspect that seems to work very well.

I have reserahced on another thread as well and got these projects on hand:
Strawberry Vale School by Patkau
Emily Carr Institute by Patkau
Seijima Design school
Elementary Science center
Sci arc
I just wasn't able to find good images that could demonstrate the use of flexible floor plan or illustrate the new concepts of teaching with shared spaces. Any help to guide me further here??

check out coelecanth, the japanese office. they are very interesting and innovative with spatial planning in schools, and have done dozens of schools by now so there is lots to look at.

You may find the OECD's Programme on Educational Building (PEB) useful. Their Compendium of Exemplary Educational Facilities includes case studies from 20 countries.

WAN has a copy of it online here.

the jewish school in chicago that john ronan did is supposed to be pretty cool...

also the morphosis public high school in CA is worth a look.
