Integrated learning at every level
Jim and Pam Wells Elementary School is part of an exciting new educational development that creates physical and pedagogical connections across all levels of learning for the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District. This “educational village” delivers a holistic approach to tiered learning that encourages collaboration and new opportunities that spread across disciplines and transcend grade levels.
The elementary school has a square footage of over 125,000 feet. Its curriculum-driven layout puts an emphasis on rapid discovery and teamwork, with classrooms designed to facilitate flexible learning styles and outdoor environments for active teaching and play.
The combined campus also utilizes shared resources including drives, playing fields, parking, and a shared Mechanical Central Plant hosting a high efficiency combined HVAC system.
IBI Group’s scope of services for this project included planning, programming, design, interior design, construction administration and 3D visualization capabilities. We also provided master planning for this district.
