Student gathering spaces include a work bar beneath the central learning stair and team centers for elementary, middle, and high school students that combine formal and informal furniture. The commons and shared spaces integrate elements of western lodges with those of community centers and schools.

This is a forward-thinking, beautiful design that should serve a rural community well both as a school and community hub. Each part of the building incorporates spaces for student gathering and connecting. The result is a terrific balance.
