Three-Story Elementary School Prototype

Three-story academic grade house arrangement for Kindergarten, Primary, and Intermediate classrooms.

In an effort to make the new elementary school have a smaller footprint and be adaptable to the smaller sites that are available, this prototype has shifted from a

two-story to a three-story design. This provides nice grade house separation with the youngest students, the Kindergarteners, being on the first floor, Primary on the second,

and Intermediate on the third floor. This prototype will be utilized with the proposed Rosemount-Lewis Elementary School.

Site PlanProposed Rosemount-

Lewis Elementary School site to be located west of

Ashton Avenue.

Site includes 154 parking spaces, with separated

bus and vehicular circulation.

Amenities include P.E. field, mulched play

areas, concrete play areas, and two playfields.

Proposed Amenity Improvements for Rosemount-Lewis

Park• 32-space/lighted parking lot

• Bermuda/Irrigated Athletic Field

• Restroom Building

• Walking Trail

• Additional Playground Equipment

• Pavilion Improvements

Proposed Parking Improvements for

Adjacent Community• +/- 30 space parking lot

(pending land acquisition per PFR 2019-00010)

Three-story Floor PlanAssembly spaces such as

the Cafeteria and Gymnasium have been

located on the first floor. Classrooms are separated

by grade level, and are organized around

Extended Learning Areas.Unlike the previous

prototype, this school has the Gymnasium separated

from the Cafeteria. This Gymnasium has a stage allowing the space to be

used for large assemblies.

Total Area: 117,600 sfCafeteria size: 4,700 sf

Gymnasium size: 6,200 sf

Extended Learning Areas

Due to changing educational strategies,

Extended Learning Areas have been added to each grade house, providing areas for small group

learning as well as project collaboration. These spaces are located

between classrooms with sidelights to allow the

teachers to provide passive security over the extended learning areas.

Media CenterThe Media Center is

located on the second floor to allow for

centralized access between all three floors.

To encourage project based learning, small

group conference rooms and maker spaces have

been provided with a direct connection to the

Media Center.The Media Center also

has a direct connection to the second and third floor Extended Learning Areas.

Learning StairAt the heart of the two-story Extended Learning Area is a learning stair. This

stair not only provides a means of circulation between the second

and third floors, it also provides a tiered seating area for

presentations and student collaboration. This new learning stair

replaces the story-room in the previous two-story elementary

schools.

First to Second Floor CirculationThe circulation is

centrally located to allow for a direct

connection between the Extended

Learning Areas and the Cafeteria and

Gymnasium below.
