The new Moser School was designed for students in grades four and five with the goal of reducing crowding while providing students with an efficient transition from elementary school to middle school. The design supports a dynamic 21st-century teaching and learning environment that combines various characteristics of both the elementary model and the middle school model. It features a two-story academic wing with six small learning communities surrounding a central learning commons.
Each learning community includes three classrooms, a STEM science lab, and shared collaboration spaces between classrooms for small group and interdisciplinary learning. Additional breakout spaces are incorporated into the circulation to provide flexibility within the school. The music classrooms, cafetorium, gymnasium and support services are placed apart from academic areas to provide secure access during after-hours community use. The scale, massing, and materials of the new facility are characteristic of a village to complement the surrounding residential neighborhood. Additional features include outdoor learning areas, a new baseball field, a multipurpose field and age-appropriate playscapes.
