The Jackson Center PK-8 facility was designed to serve all learning activities of the PK-5 population, the 6-8 science classes and functions that serve both the new building and adjacent existing 6-12 school, including the media center, student dining/kitchen, stage, music room, gym, consumer science classrooms, ag classroom and ag shop. The building has received LEED Silver Certification.
Freytag & Associates assisted the district in incorporating 21st-century learning characteristics into the facility. The PK-5 classroom wing was designed to accommodate the district’s departmentalized instructional model and to maximize the flexible potential of the shared Creative Learning Centers (CLC) for project-based learning and group projects of various sizes. Windows on the interior classroom walls enhance teacher supervision and admit natural light into the CLCs. An exterior courtyard further enhances the curriculum by providing the opportunity for a variety of outdoor learning activities.
The library serves as the central hub at the convergence of the new and existing buildings. Various seating options provide space and functionality for students of all ages.
