Educational Architecture School Designers
 

Educational facility school designers should respond to the changing needs of 21st century learners.  In order to realize substantive changes in the design of new school facilities, architects must reach beyond the norms of past designs. At French Associates, we believe that educators and students offer the best perspective on shaping their facilities. Our collaborative approach to the programming and design of educational facilities helps make flexible and innovative learning environments a reality.

         



Brandon High School
Ortonville, Michigan

This campus has been incomplete since the existing building was constructed in the 1970's. A recent bond issue called for the athletic fields to move from their location at the former high
school to the existing school. 


Grosse Ile High School
Grosse Ile, Michigan

In 2007, Grosse Ile Township Schools began construction at Grosse Ile High School. The original building, constructed in the 1950's, had inadequate space for the cafeteria and media center.


Parker High School
Howell, Michigan

Parker High School offers a flex scheduling option to its students. It includes partnership spaces for use by the local community college, business partners and training programs. 


Allen Park High School
Allen Park, Michigan

As part of a near $75 million bond, French Associates was chosen to upgrade the district's six schools, which include three elementary schools, one middle school, an alternative community school, and the high school. 


St. Clair County Community College
Port Huron, Michigan

The goal of this project was to renovate, update and expand the College's engineering, math and lecture spaces, as well as establish the media center as a centralized location for support and instruction. 


Clarkston Community Schools
Clarkston, Michigan

In order to merge the Administrative Staff Services and Board of Education facilities from multiple sites, we expanded the existing 9,100 sq ft administrative office building. Additions include more offices, conference rooms and a Board of Education meeting room, which doubles as a space for large gatherings, school
activities and community meetings. 


Eagle Creek Academy
Oakland, Michigan

Set within a 20-acre picturesque site on the edge of a wetland preserve, Eagle Creek Academy's facility emphasizes the surrounding natural features. Natural light and geothermal heating/ cooling systems make this 250-student K-8 school an extension of it's environment. 


Stoney Creek High School
Rochester, Michigan

Rochester's newest high school is a 320,000 sf, three-story building designed for 1500 students.  Constrained by the limitations of the site, the design incorporates three educational wings: Physical Education, Fine Arts, and Academic Studies.


Berkley High School
Berkley, Michigan

This $1.45 million project, with 11,600 sq ft of additional or renovated space, includes a school store, expanded cafeteria seating and new offices. In addition to a complete exterior window replacement and extensive interior renovations, the new 7,000 square foot Collaborative Center is the focal point of the high school.

Kettering High School
Waterford, Michigan

Kettering High School was master planned as a part of a series of bond issues in Waterford School District. One of the first phases of that plan called for the construction of a new competition gymnasium and main entrance addition.
