Delaine Eastin Elementary School Makers Lab

To foster creativity and connection, the architect reimagined two classrooms at Delaine Eastin Elementary, transforming them into an engaging makerspace complemented by additional restrooms to address the campus’s needs. The design highlights innovation and school pride with a laser-cut vinyl floor showcasing the butterfly mascot, playful “X” and “O” light fixtures, and color-coded structural beams, mechanical ducts and electrical conduits that serve as teaching tools.

A sliding glass wall seamlessly connects the makerspace to an adjacent outdoor courtyard, creating a dynamic environment where indoor and outdoor learning converge. This adaptable design empowers students to extend their projects outdoors, encouraging collaboration, exploration and hands-on learning. By combining functionality with inspiration, the vibrant space aligns with the school’s mission to nurture curiosity and innovation, offering students an inviting environment to experiment, create and grow.
