A.D. Henderson University School & FAU High School, Phase 1

Phase 1 of this dynamic project replaced K-8 facilities with new technology-rich buildings.
Visually exciting spaces use both natural and artificial lighting. With the use of very color-specific LED lighting, areas are highlighted for perceived importance. Similarly, splashes of vibrant colors are used to excite the senses and challenge the norm that colors must be subdued for students of this age. To reinforce the multi-age social aspects of this K-12 school, a central stair with natural light was designed as the crossing point of the different ages.

In new transformable tech labs, students learn real-world engineering challenges and work with Lego-based autonomous robots. These spaces and programs help students develop employment and life skills, including critical thinking, time management and teamwork. Glass partitions are used in lab areas to showcase STEM activities.
The media center reading room and group project areas are designed to integrate technology and create digital labs including ceiling-mounted retractable data/electrical services.
