Built to accommodate rapid growth, the new Rossville Elementary School was designed to promote flexibility and maximize learning spaces, supporting both current and emerging pedagogy.
Careful consideration was given to the building siting and materiality with the goal of respecting and deferring to the surrounding wooded area while maintaining an equitability of the quality of the educational spaces across county facilities. Expanses of glass and ample outdoor space, including a rooftop classroom, seamlessly merge the indoors and outdoors to provide students with a bright and uplifting learning environment.
Comprised of a two-story classroom wing and a one-story cafeteria/gymnasium wing linked by a central core, the new school features a variety of interwoven collaboration spaces for active learning. A large commons serves as the organizational element for each floor of the classroom wing. Moveable furniture and writable wallcoverings within the commons provide teachers with space to support differentiated instruction, multiple modalities, and problem-based learning. Pairs of classrooms share smaller breakout spaces for group and individual instruction. Circulation spaces are multi-functional, offering additional areas for informal learning. Students and teachers can gather on the main stair for presentations and performances that activate the central space. Underneath the stair, student creativity is on display through programmed pinup and teaching space for the art department. The technology-rich media center overlooks the stair creating a continual dialogue between learning spaces.
