Grandville Middle School
Grandville, Michigan
This middle school for grades 7 and 8 boasts more than 200,000 square feet of teaching and learning space that is flexible and student-focused. A large learning staircase with adjacent technology creates a space for students to socialize, have small group meetings, and eat lunch. Corridors are spacious and act as extended, active learning areas with movable furniture and technology. The school offers students a variety of specialized spaces for a well-rounded educational experience. The academic wing is separated from shared resource areas; the cafeteria acts as a central hub. Specialized areas include a performing arts theater classroom, shop spaces, art room, STEM classrooms, a science lab with outdoor access, and band, orchestra and choir spaces. Multiple athletics spaces in the school give students many opportunities to increase their physical activity and competitive sport pursuits. The project includes a robotics arena, one of the largest built-for-purpose robotics competition centers in the United States with seating for 2,000 spectators. The facility’s design also incorporates many methodologies that enhance the social-emotional learning and development of middle school students.
