North Park Elementary
Bismarck, North Dakota
Project Highlight
The District had a vision to re-imagine the North Park media center space. Recognizing an underutilized space in the school as an opportunity to transform it into a new learning environment for the second-grade class. Together with the second grade staff, we designed a new learning module that created variety, and energy and encouraged creativity in the students and teachers.
The installation took place over the summer when students were not in the building. Demountable, transparent and flexible walls were used to create additional teaching surfaces while maintaining an open and connected learning environment.

Summer Transformation
The design took place over a three day intensive workshop and together we analyzed design ideas in real time, utilizing three dimensional modeling techniques. Furniture played a significant role in the re-imagined media center, by defining zones to support the learning activities described by staff during the workshops.
