Renovating Old Classroom Buildings

Create opportunity for classroom connections to adjacent outdoor learning spaces.

Many of SCUSD's campuses have multiple classroom buildings that are either “finger” buildings or “corridor” buildings. Because the learning model has changed considerably from the time period when these buildings were designed, they are inadequate for future-ready learning:

Not all activities and learning styles are supported. Collaborative and project work is difficult. Spaces for different group sizes and differentiated learning are limited. Opportunities for teacher collaboration are limited. Accommodating future change is extremely challenging.
