Building Opportunity, Community and Economy by Putting Students First and Upholding a Bold Vision
District leaders shared a bold vision for Sheldon ISD's C.E. King High School. They imagined a school that would support individualized instruction, a campus that would be a destination for the community, and an icon that would build up the entire region. This tour explores the 550,000 sf, 3-story campus and focuses on leading community through change, making a statement through education, and becoming a centerpiece to economic growth, all through the lens of thoughtful campus planning. Some of the features that will be explored through this lens include: how the 200-acre site was master-planned, use of a vertical commons, integration of personalized learning academies and athletic components of the stadium and multi-purpose activity center. Project team members included: Sheldon ISD, LAN, Huckabee and Durotech.

The Sustainable Table: Katy ISD's New Facility to Support Food, Fur and Feathers
Katy ISD This session will detail the design process involved to realize a state of the art agriculture science facility that includes a rodeo arena, pond, pavilion, show arena, and a project center. Use of the newly designed facility will support student interests while aligned with new graduation options in Texas for the Business & Industry endorsement, with support for the Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources Career Cluster including horticulture, aquaculture, and livestock production.

This project involves discovering the importance of industry emulated instructional areas to support agricultural sciences. The goal of the session is to examine how instruction should drive the design process resulting in a specialized learning environment for students whose high school connection is agriculture. Because agriculture is so important to our society, students experience the sustainable practice of Farm to Table while showing the necessary skills to adequately raise livestock surrounded by learning areas to promote quality crops as well as horticulture and aquaculture. Evidence of design will be revealed including a rodeo arena, pond, pavilion, show arena, and a project center that support instructional as well as showmanship needs.
