"It is the designer's belief that it is a requirement today to develop educational places that address 21st Century needs in an academic community-based environment. Such an environment should completely support and allow work, play, study, listening, responding, relaxing, and accomplishment through individualized work, group work, collaboration, and social interaction, using 21st Century technology."

Lee Magnet High School
Old School gets New Life!
Presented by: GraceHebert Architects
Sponsored by: Womack Construction
The design team of GraceHebert Architects and associate architects DLR Group were tasked with creating a technology
rich, flexible and adaptable school that supports project based learning. Therefore the design for Lee High
School does not follow a traditional school layout. The school consists of flexible spaces that can be configured for
a variety of uses. Visual connections in learning labs and specialized spaces give students a reason to become excited
about learning.
The school is designed around three specialized academies and a Commons Building. The specialized academies
include Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), Bio-medical and Digital Arts. Students and staff at Lee
High School will be able to collaborate throughout the facility, providing opportunities for interdisciplinary and
cross-curriculum instruction. The facility is designed to promote real-life experiences, allowing students to apply
what they learn in a classroom in a specialized laboratory within their academy.
Attendees will receive 2 AIA HSW CEU's

3D / 4D / 5D Building Information Modeling
You are invited to join us for a short presentation and Q&A session on the ever-increasing capabilities
of Building Information Modeling (BIM) soft ware, and its benefits to the design and construction
of educational facilities for architects, engineers, facility planners and managers, as well as the end users.
Th e soft ware allows designers and builders to identify mechanical and structural clash detections and
accurately price value engineering decisions. BIM also allows a better evaluation of constructability and
project scheduling, which is especially beneficial to ensure that a new or renovated school will open on time!
We will also present the capabilities and benefits of 3-Dimensional Laser Scanning and its ability to
create accurate as-builts for existing schools and historical buildings, including a live demonstration!
The event will be held at the office of CORE Construction Services in Metairie, followed by happy hour
with cocktails & appetizers for all attendees from 5:00pm until 6:00pm.
We have limited space available, so the event is only open to the first 50
people who sign up.
