\"Corpus<\/a><\/p>\n

This new middle school pioneers a new direction for educational environments in this large, very diverse community. The design embraces personalized learning & is modeled after a new high school in order to ease the transition between grade levels. This goal inspired the development of learning communities that occupants call \u201chome.\u201d Respecting that middle schoolers thrive on diversity, the classrooms are designed as a variation of the Fat L, showcasing well-defined activity spaces in each room.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nCorpus Christi ISD\u2014Veterans Memorial High School<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Corpus<\/a><\/p>\n

The first high school constructed in the community in 50+ years, the program for this campus breaks ranks from traditional learning environments. As one of the most diverse large districts in Texas (and 2nd largest employer in the region), the owner knew input of an entire community of stakeholders would be paramount in the planning process. New educational initiatives established by the district, community, and students all helped develop the program (with core spaces designed for 3,000).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

La Joya ISD\u2014Water Park & Planetarium<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The District knew the facilities would be used by the students & the community, so the design established a central parking lot, with the facilities around the perimeter. The tennis courts & planetarium were separated from the water facilities. The natatorium and water park were placed are adjacent to one another to simplify the utilities and separate the water activities from the other programs. The District voted to take action to keep educational and social programs available for students.<\/td>\n
