Greenwood Lab School Science Scholars’ Addition
Springfield, MO, United States
Type
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2012
SIZE
5000 sqft - 10,000 sqft
Greenwood students have a history of excellence in science and many go on to have careers in science-related fields. A new science wing was a long-term dream for the school, and funding for the project was donated from a family with three generations of Greenwood graduates who offered matching funds.
The addition was not just about adding more space, but adding innovative, state-of-the-art labs and learning facilities for teaching students about physics, earth sciences, chemistry, and biology. Designed to be a truly 21st century school, it is intended to foster creativity and curiosity in an informal, student-oriented environment.
The building is designed to be a teaching tool for high school and university students, and features two over-sized, flexible classroom laboratory spaces. All classroom elements (desks, lab stations, and computers) are mobile for greater flexibility and adaptability. The MEP engineer designed utility service pipes that are color coded so students know how their classrooms are serviced. The classroom ventilation system was designed to meet university laboratory air quality levels.
Additional needs addressed by the project include:
Three informal student gathering/lounge areas, one of which can accommodate an entire class
Enhanced primary and middle school science facilities in the existing science classrooms, which were renovated and re-equipped
A new “front” to the rear of the building along an emerging primary vehicular route on campus
Recognition of financial contributions by individuals and families with glass plaques that incorporate science iconography throughout the addition
LEED® Silver certified, the addition is oriented for passive solar heating and daylight harvesting which includes automatic and manual lighting settings. Further sustainable techniques utilized in the design include increased thermal performance and indoor air quality, an energy efficient mechanical system, and an efficient use of construction resources.
