ATSR collaborated with Minnetonka Public Schools on a facility to house the high school’s experiential and project-based learning programs. This modern facility provides students with access to hands-on learning opportunities from career professionals in multiple vocational pathways.

Students experience regular guest instruction, site visits and a rigorous curriculum in business, health sciences, multimedia, international relations, public policy and more. Students are paired for the year with a one-on-one mentor who helps and guides them on their projects and various topics about success in the professional world. The result is an experience that mimics the workplace, preparing students for advanced professional studies and postsecondary learning.

The new facility incorporates many large and small group spaces, conference rooms, a large forum, classrooms, science labs and an aviation program with three large flight simulators. The lower level serves as a storm shelter and student commons space.

Flexibility was an important part of the design. A variety of furniture was provided in and beyond the classroom to meet the unique needs of each student.
