Committed to educational excellence and high-performance design, Southeast Dubois County School Corporation is home to Indiana’s first LEED-registered school facility.
This new intermediate school facility for grades 5 and 6 contains seven classrooms for each grade level. Other instructional areas include art, music, a computer lab, distance-learning lab and two remedial/testing rooms per grade level.
An important consideration was made to create a school that could serve the community during the evening hours. The gym and cafeteria/commons share a stage, and the media center, distance-learning labs and computer labs facilitate dual educational and community use.
Functioning as a public gallery of student work, the Main Street corridor allows access to the community-use areas after hours, yet secures the main classrooms.
