Are you attending the 21st Century Learning Symposium?
St. Clair County RESA is hosting a Symposium on 21st Century Learning, August 25, 2011, at the new Marysville High School in Marysville, Michigan. The future of education will be discussed as there is a growing sense of urgency to provide students with skills that will enable them to compete with their peers internationally.
French Associates designed the new 238,000 square foot Marysville High School on the site of the existing high school. The existing high school remained in service while the new high school was constructed. About 70% of the new facility is dedicated to things such as gymnasiums, a pool and even a coffee bar. In the past, classrooms accounted for 75-80% of a building’s square footage. Designing for today’s “21st century learners” is a whole new ball game full of exciting, fast-paced opportunity!
Be sure to check out the Symposium presentation, “School facility design: Are we asking the right people?” by Dale C. Jerome, President of French Associates.
