Mill Creek Elementary and Middle School is a new K-8 prototype developed for Williamson County Schools by Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood. The footprint marries the elementary and middle schools with a connecting spine between two major classroom wings and one auxiliary wing. The center spine houses a media center, art labs and flexible classroom spaces for teacher training, testing and collaborative learning. School officials intend to use these shared spaces so that K-8 students can collaborate on projects involving technology, science, arts and mathematics, in addition to service projects.
Two grand staircases connect the two-story academic wings and the atrium space, which serves as a pre-function area for the auditorium and cafeteria. The campus has 68 classrooms and four special needs classrooms, along with art, speech, computer, resource, band, music, science and flex classrooms.
The auxiliary wing encompasses middle and elementary gyms, separate cafeterias with a shared kitchen, and separate media centers with a shared circulation desk. It can be accessed separately from the main building for use after hours.
