8. New High School Design Development Presentation by Co-Op Architects and the DLR Group
Discussion:
New High School Design Development Presentation. Jared Carda from Co-Op Architects, Todd Kwiecinski and Vanessa Schutte from DLR Group and Tanya Olson from Tallgrass Landscape Architects presented the final design development for the new high school site. The innovative design illustrates a concept called "unlocking the gem" using inspiration found in our military, Native American and local communities, as well as, our own natural environment. This is seen in the geometric design, variety of materials used for exterior and interior structural design, color palettes, design and flow of space for learning and activities including inside courtyards. Next steps in the process will be board approval of the final design, securing funding for the project, and deciding how to proceed with the construction documents phase for the project.
