From the 2025 Educational Interiors Showcase: C.W. Cline Elementary School

Cline Elementary School in Friendswood, Texas, is organized around a central learning commons; the two-story design supports flexible, anywhere-anytime learning. Each grade-level pod includes classrooms opening to naturally lighted collaboration spaces that foster student choice, small-group instruction, and inter-class teamwork. Shared spaces like the innovation hub, makerspace, art/music rooms and secure outdoor courtyards promote creativity, exploration and wellness. Community engagement is emphasized through features like a courtyard adjacent to the cafeteria for family lunches and a stage that connects the gym to an outdoor amphitheater.
