Design Details:
- The new John Warner Middle School accommodates 700 students (anticipated in the next 20 years) to address continued community growth.
- The core classroom portion of the new middle school design, which includes separate areas for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, is based on a grade-level team concept.
- The two-story classroom wing incorporates flexible team-building and collaborative alcoves for project work.
- The media center and front office zone are centrally located and act as the hub for the building. They buffer the high-volume and more active spaces of the building, like the gym and performing arts.
- Vocal and instrumental music rooms, the cafeteria, and the gymnasium are separated from the academic zone with a large central corridor, which improves sound isolation and enhances student and event circulation.
- The building is subdivided to increase academic community security and accommodate after-hour community use.
- Strong emphasis was placed on technology, allowing for state-of-the-art curriculum delivery in all spaces to support the District’s 1-to-1 device policy for students.
- Security is critical to the design, so access to instructional areas will be secured during public use of the building.
- The design team created a vibrant atmosphere by using color, texture, natural lighting, varying volumes of space, and acoustical treatments.
- The exterior of the building is highlighted by the use of multiple-colored and sized masonry and metal panels.
- The site allows the bus loading area to be separate from automobile loading and parking to provide another layer of user safety.
