Additional learning spaces
Following a successful referendum, Ixonia Elementary is received an addition to accommodate the growing student population. The 13,000 square feet addition enhances learning experiences and fosters well-being while encouraging collaboration and connectivity.
In the heart of the addition, a double-height commons area with clerestory windows letting an abundance of natural light in, is located to serve as a community space where group activities and presentations can take place. Around the commons area, flexible team-teaching classrooms that redefine the traditional classroom model were placed. Sliding glass doors connect adjacent rooms, allowing seamless collaboration with transparency that promote visual connectivity along with adaptable furniture that facilitates quick reconfiguration. The classrooms adapt to varying teaching methodologies and student needs.
Our interior design team worked to weave biophilic design into every corner of the addition. Plant-themed motifs enhance walls, murals, and corridors in addition to the green imagery that creates a soothing atmosphere, promoting well-being and reducing stress.
