Winton Woods School
Presenter: Allison McKenzie
A member of the New Tech Network, the Winton Woods City Schools program is the first in the nation to design for K-12 project-based learning curriculum delivery. SHP recently delivered a $93M building program consisting of new PK-6 and 7-12 buildings, completely reshaping the district facilities to support project-based learning.
Engagement was crucial to design success. A student visioning team ran in parallel with a community-visioning team to deliver four themes: Eat & Learn, Show & Tell, Community & Culture, and Inside Out. The resulting schools offer consistent spaces that deliver on these themes: seminar rooms, collaboration spaces, shared dining and learning spaces, teacher co-working spaces, and multi-function lab spaces that can be used for science, art, and as a makerspace. Throughout both schools there are no assigned classrooms, teachers work together to assign each class to the space that best meets their teaching needs and project phase each day.
The new 250,000sf 7-12 school offers separate entries for 7-8 grades and 9-12 grades with distributed administration. The building is segmented into smaller more intimate communities, each of which has distributed dining and media center spaces within it. The design also offers a fine arts suite, an 850-seat auditorium, and a 1500-seat arena with a collegiate-sized court.
The design of the campus received the 2023 A4LE James D. MacConnell Award–widely recognized as the most prestigious international award for school planning and design. The facility also received an Outstanding Project Award from Learning by Design in 2022.
