🡠 Education Specifications

Multipurpose

The multipurpose space is the heart of the school and flexible to support a multitude of activities. It accommodates student dining on a daily basis. It also serves as an event space for assemblies, presentations and musical or theater performances. It is designed to meet these needs visually, spatially, and acoustically. It is able to be divided and acoustically sound-attenuated for events to occur simultaneously. Seating will be a combination of retractable theatrical seating and movable chairs. A stage shall be directly adjacent to the multipurpose room, as well as general storage for chairs and equipment, costume storage, dressing rooms, and other spaces to support musical and theatrical performance. The Multipurpose Building will also incorporate the food service function for the campus. The serving area for the food service should connect directly to an outdoor covered eating area. Additional spaces that may be considered part of the Multipurpose Building depending on its location on campus is an office for Physical Education (120 square feet), an office for Maintenance, and storage for custodial, maintenance, and outdoor play equipment.

Dividers

Curtains, adjustable baffles or operable partitions are ideal for variable acoustic needs. They can also be used to divide the space so multiple groups can use the multi-use space at the same time.
