The Building as the Teacher
Mason, Craig
Educational Facility Planner, v43 n4 p31-32 2009
Teachers educate. Architects design. Students learn. Each serves a specific, unique purpose. But what happens when the three collaborate to achieve a greater good? In the state of Washington, a school building that is, in itself, a learning tool for students, teachers and the community happened. A school building that inspires students and teachers to become sustainable citizens happened. A school building that is applauded by user groups for its innovative approach to learning happened. This article describes how it all happened under one, environmentally-friendly roof at Pioneer Middle School.
