From the 2024 Architectural Portfolio: Deer Creek Elementary School

The design of Deer Creek Elementry School in Noblesville, Indiana, creates a student-centered inquiry-based teaching and learning environment. Flexible collaboration was achieved through grade-level learning communities; six classrooms surround a multifunctional activity commons that extends each classroom. It also serves as a space for STEM activities, grade-level presentations, indoor recess, push-in remediation, and outdoor learning. Five learning communities are positioned around a central media center, where a large, two-story open area draws students into zones for gathering and reading.
