DINNER PROGRAM:
Breaking the bonds of portables: durable alternatives offer transformative learning environments
Joe Mayo, Mahlum Architects
Park Place Middle School
In 2010, Monroe School District staff, Park Place Middle School staff, design
consultants and Integrus Architecture worked together on a successful bond campaign to transform Park Place Middle School.
After evaluating the existing facility and working closely with members of a Design
Steering Committee, a master plan was developed and it was determined that a
significant portion of the existing school be re-built on the existing site. Significant
challenges that the master plan addresses include developing a design to
accommodate phased construction while the building remains in operation, simplifying bus and auto traffic patterns on the site, redeveloping fields, and supporting both existing and anticipated future programs.
The new, two-story school facility is approximately 123,000 SF and sized to serve
850 middle school students in grades 6 through 8 from the local community. In the academic wing, clusters of learning spaces are comprised of three general classrooms, one science lab, one group room, a shared learning area, and service facilities such as restrooms and storage. Art is grouped with CTE, digital studio, and food science as closely-related creative disciplines. These active learning environments have higher ceiling heights and are adjacent to outdoor work areas. Together, these learning environments anchor the south side of the academic wing of the new school. West of the academic wing, the band, drama, and choir rooms are located between the Gymnasium and Commons, so that musical and dramatic performances will be integral community gathering places.
Site improvements include refurbished sports fields with synthetic turf soccer field and all-weather track, new vehicular circulation and parking areas approximately equaling existing parking counts, new planting and gathering areas with the goal of providing clear pedestrian and vehicular circulation, and improved overall campus safety with new driveways and landscaping.
