This project is actually around the corner from my office.
This week, instead of the typical white walls in the hallway of the third floor in the Architecture Building, I had the view of interior design junior studio projects. I spoke with interior design professor Jo Hasell about the projects. She explained that the students are working with P.K. Yonge Developmental Research School. The school is affiliated with UF’s College of Education.
The interior design students worked in teams of three to put together a proposal for a new elementary school. In addition to working on an overall concept, each team member chose one of three learning communities to focus their designs. The learning communities allow for a team-teaching approach and are divided by grade: 1. kindergarten and first grade, 2. second and third grade and 3. fourth and fifth grade.
The projects were presented to key stakeholders and will be revising their designs based on the feedback.
This is the view directly across from my office.
