rooms so our team's going to put the next exercise on the table that was a prompt ok i'm so excited  this is exciting so can everyone come forward so we can have our presentations i'm going to ask someone the o p m there are official official timekeeper the o p m three minutes per team so we're going to start a clock this is like an interview we couldn't go over thirty minutes so we're going to treat you the same way and in the end if you could attach your notes to the board that would be great so we can have your thoughts ok we're ready team won  high so our first thought was that we want to keep the existing pool and field house for our so i could demick section we thought it was really important to have a common centrally located and you'll see that we ripped up a lot of our boxes so we felt having smaller spaces that were more interconnected so most importantly we felt like the art and the media were touching or close to our academic classrooms so that we talked about collaboration that we could have collaboration between those disciplines we also felt that it was important to have multiple locations for the administration and the guidance so that it's more connected throughout the building  promotes sort of moving around an interaction between two students and teachers in the hallways thank you thank you so so we're going to move from this side to this side and why we do that will take this down and bring the next package of drawings up so who wants to talk about of adjacencies we like having art near the science department and we like having music also near the sciences we like to put in the lab programs near art and near science we figured this was a nice combination to allow some of the students to take some integrated classes in the art department and all of the stuff we like to be able over to a courtyard so you can access the as i for music art from the lab and from the science classrooms we actually and we had the media over here and there near the music and near the administration here thinking ok so the upper school more school are separated by these really cool spaces that are shared spaces with different administrations different accesses into the building on different sides and potentially even maybe separate cafeterias but that are located right so we're right so we didn't put them right up next to each other because we were thinking as much outer space as we can get in between all the spaces to increase natural light and also increase  oh yes so that they could be open after hours and the public could access them more easily so we wanted them also on the end of the building so after so amazing if we could be so bold as to ask you to maybe take some wri some more notes on your piece of paper so we can put the thoughts to the graphics sometimes the graphics speak on their own sometimes they need to live so let's go to the next one someone had a little fun on that one i like it why did we sort of broke everything into clusters so it's not really a math but we felt you know keeping the existing fieldhouse and the general athletics area was important together and you know music and auditorium we have with  there because we thought you know a little bit more interdisciplinary learning might be helpful but the kind of the main group thing that we came away with was this idea with high schoolers if you have one they live at the school they are here my senior was sixteen hours a day sometimes there's not a lot of time for them to go home so what we're really focused on is how can we make you know this commons we wrote student living lounge in here where can they come in they can unwind they're done with classes they're done with all of their after school like that immediate you know two thirty to three thirty kind of things they ought to be back here for five o'clock for play until eleven how can we give them a space to just haul so that was really important to us and that we sort of you know we have a meditation a wellness group study rooms medical kind of all in this area and we fiddled off after that but that's the general idea we just feel like you know it's about lounged learning and these schools are so excellent i just think you know really we're talking about feeding the physical body having the physical be as comfortable as possible so having these a lounge area is sort of at the center and in different places and activating the hallways so you have the hallways are so key kids don't have time to get from place to place i see them lying down make the hallways super comfortable little pods you know really sort of like giant like almost tables that people can lie down and talkin pump your stuff down kids carry their stuff around there like these snails with twenty five pounds or whatever have places for them to just plop down and just sort of spiral into these different areas and we drew these sort of lines sort of coming into the center of the light coming into these different spaces so lounge learning it's really about recess at the center of the schools are going to be excellent so let's give time for the physical body i want to go to your house so we have all the athletic facilities over here like we do we have a whole bunch of areas that need access to the outside we felt like would we put it last i think it fell off we had lab near the area where the vans are going to pull in so that there's not a whole lot of roaming around that has to happen oh it's up here so it's by the outside of a building we split the lower grades in the upper grades but we also talked about splitting these into smaller pods they feel a lot like long hallways we wanted to have more clusters we wanted art and music to be near science we wanted it we wanted to be near  writing in english and stuff like that we wanted to have some private spaces near classrooms we wanted the commons to be like one big space where you could accommodate a martin luther king breakfast but also multiple small spaces we talked about the fact that the gym is a large space is not big is not enough because it is so fully programmed that we need other big spaces like this in the auditorium and such the community uses it the school uses it as well we talked a lot about guidance and the idea that you didn't necessarily want to feel like you're going to the principal's office when you go and talk to a guidance counselor so maybe we would want to have this a little bit more distributed near the students but then again there may be issues with that so we talked about that the media center or the library or whatever multiple small ones and some of those kinds of things attached in the areas of the various classrooms to cover everything so ours is missing some stuff if it looks a little bare but part of that was so we felt like we didn't want all of the things clustered together and so we just ripped up a couple and just gave kind of a basic idea of what we would like overall just in general for the curriculum to be more interdisciplinary to be collaborative with all of the different areas and so we represented that just like with one example right here the art is next to history which is next music which is next to math which is next to theater that all of that works together throughout the entire school then with the caf in common areas we kind of drew dotted lines to show some flexibility for scene that maybe it is a large room but could be divided into smaller spaces that maybe having a large media library area but also some smaller ones so maybe there would be you know three or four of those but that th ere's a variety of options that the kitchen and cafeteria kind of connects with a greenhouse area and some outdoor spaces and one suggestion was having foreign language tables where so we also just looked at a few ideas rather than all the spaces looking at how relationships can be built between the ministration so looking at how good ok that's important because otherwise to be a lot to take in so what we want you to do is look at the site diagrams and just give us your thoughts mark them up with markers there's trace on the table if you want to lay out trace think about circulation a little bit how the vehicles might enter think about where the building is does it make you feel good does it make you feel uncomfortable where the building is think about parking parking relative to the building relative to athletics so think about the big elements that are involved in site plan so building location parking access the relationship to the pond some big things athletics and just give us your thoughts and in the end you'll probably just present one or two of the site plans and they're all different so you might brainstorm together looking at all of them and then pick a couple to comment on and there may be some common themes among and so all of them so the first thing is just try to figure out which one or two you're going to work on yeah and then also you know what things you like at this like about it like you say mark i'm up whatever whatever works right right it doesn't i mean in some ways it doesn't matter which one you pick because there may be some ways in which thinking about the site that would in fact be relative to the other one so don't spend too much time picking one just pick a couple and dig deep dig into it and start to get for it bring forward your ideas so does that make sense any questions and will come around and help you so on your tables you'll see the site diagrams and if you want to randomly pick wanna pick your favorite
