Buildings B and C: Collaborative Partners

Dan Rothschild has a great post on his new blog, lebodesign.net.  In his post, Buildings B and C: Collaborative Partners , Dan writes how the CAC was inspired by Dr. Davis' 45 minute lecture where he said that by arranging departments side-by-side, the opportunity for interdepartmental collaboration increases.

The CAC was energized by this talk, and how it meshed with earlier discussions by high school staff, that a great amount of learning in high school happens outside of the classroom.  Using this information, the CAC proposed a paradigm shift in the design that suggested moving the classrooms located in the new Building G to the existing Building C.  This not only placed all of the academic departments side-by-side, as discussed in Dr. Davis’ talk, but allowed the development of a collaborative zone in between the two buildings in the bridges that currently connect Building B to Building C twice on each floor.

It is unfortunate that the School Board will not revisit Building C. Larry Lebowitz was quoted as saying, "We need to obtain as much public input as we can." Dan Rothschild wants to revisit Building C.  The CAC wanted to keep Building C. We have talked about it here on Lebo Citizens. Keeping Building C has been discussed on Blog-Lebo. We have pleaded at School Board meetings to keep Building C. Are you getting enough public input, Mr. Lebowitz, or are you on public input overload? What WILL the School Board do with all this public input? We all know the answer to that question.
