Sweeny ISD\u2014Chevron Phillips Chemical CTE Center
\nArchitect: Stantec<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The project is a renovation of the existing 48-year-old CTE Center. The curriculum focus is driven by the District\u2019s vision to partner with local industries and create a talent pool for the next generation workforce.\u00a0Refurbishment of the exterior included installation of metal panel cladding and a new entry. The existing outdated maze of interior spaces were replaced with new efficient, flexible, and organized modern learning spaces while keeping the existing structural system intact.<\/p>\n

Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Transformation of a 48-year-old building into a state-of-the-art CTE center<\/li>\n
  • Originally only accessed through the high school, the revitalized CTE Center was given its own secure public entrance and exterior face lift<\/li>\n
  • Reorganization and centralization of CTE programs into one building<\/li>\n
  • Variety of real-life instructional spaces to support both current and future programs<\/li>\n
  • Design emphasizes flexibility, visibility, collaboration, and adaptability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Value<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Reuse of existing structure reduced cost of construction compared to building new<\/li>\n
    • The highly efficient and well-organized spatial layout maximize instructional space and flexibility<\/li>\n
    • Utilized existing square footage by transforming outside storage area into an outdoor instructional space \u2013 extending learning beyond the classroom<\/li>\n
    • The design was focused on not only enhancing existing CTE programs but to allow for adaption to future CTE programs with minimal modifications”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Integration of industry partner equipment and demonstration learning tools into instructional spaces<\/li>\n
      • Creative problem-solving allowed re-use of existing 48-year-old building while maintaining connection to the existing high school<\/li>\n
      • Reconfiguration of space created maximum design efficiency, enabling more innovative programs for advanced career opportunities<\/li>\n
      • Transparency emphasized throughout the building encouraging student engagement”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \"Community\u2014StarCommunity<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Local industry partners significantly impacted the CTE Center revitalization. Along with donations, design input, and namesake incorporation, ongoing contributions include mentorship, funding for certifications, dual credit courses, and testing<\/li>\n
        • The CTE Center provides a pipeline of future employees to regional employers, connecting students to the community beyond graduation<\/li>\n
        • CTE Programs teach real-world skills and benefits the local community by providing services run by students”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Planning<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • An iterative planning process included tours of successful CTE facilities with the end users<\/li>\n
          • Input from CTE students, teachers, industry partners, and district administration helped shape the project to meet the specific needs of the CTE programs<\/li>\n
          • CTE pathways were studied and translated into spatial requirements and guided the efficient organization of programs<\/li>\n
          • Technology, flexible furniture, and collaborative spaces were integrated into the design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            School Transformation<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            • Static spaces replaced with dynamic learning environments containing state-of-the-art equipment and technology preparing students for future careers<\/li>\n
            • Outdated, undersized, maze of disparate programs replaced with new cohesive, flexible, and modern learning spaces<\/li>\n
            • Shared use of equipment and spaces foster interdisciplinary collaboration<\/li>\n
            • Opaque and closed-off rooms replaced with transparent collaborative spaces<\/li>\n
            • Exterior facelift creates clear identity within the community<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
