Faced with an aging K-1 primary center and a grade 2-5 elementary center at capacity, the School District of Springfield Township addressed both issues with the design of a new 750-student K-2 Early Learning Center.
The design establishes a hierarchy of the public and private zones. The main entrance adjacent to the administration area anchors the interior street connection to give public access to the gymnasium/stage and cafeteria for after-school community events. The street connection leads to the central core of the building, featuring the learning resource/STEAM programs and learning stair. The school’s educational areas can be secured so the public areas can be used after school hours.
Each grade-level wing radiates from the central STEAM core and is designed to create smaller learning communities. Each grade grouping is by floor level with supporting small and large group instruction areas that accommodate a variety of learning environments. The central large group instruction area for that grade level supports collaborative activities. Every two classrooms share a small group instruction room that facilitates individualized instruction.
