Maple River Schools

The Maple River school district engaged ISG to design one preK-12 facility to replace four decaying schools situated in separate towns. The group wanted the new school to accommodate 21st-century learning, improve efficiencies, address declining enrollment, and provide a renewed sense of pride in the community. The team oversaw a comprehensive design process with input from the community, teachers, administration, parents, and students. Creative strategies resulted in a collaborative design that aligns with the district’s learning, inclusivity, and sustainability goals. Because the facility was to operate as three separate buildings, the design has separate wings for the elementary, middle, and high schools and shared core spaces in the center.

Features include open areas, commons space, special education spaces, gender-neutral restrooms, music classrooms, a state-of-the-art auditorium, gymnasium, media center, student lounges and private locker rooms, and STEM and trades learning spaces. The site also has a playground, outdoor classrooms, a stormwater pond and separate areas for parking, buses, and student drop-off and pickup. Safety and security measures are found throughout the campus, including a storm shelter.
