Project Title: Charter Schools: Patterns of Innovation; A New Architecture for a New Education
Dates: 2009-2010
Key Players: Ball State Office of Charter Schools; Pamela Harwood, Department of Architecture; Andrea Swartz, Department of Architecture
Description: During 2000-2010, the student teams worked with selected charter schools in Indiana developing overview reports on these schools. This was followed by research on best practices and high performance school design for the design of new or renovated charter school facilities. Students conducted case study research, nationally and in the state of Indiana, on exemplary charter schools and high performance “green” school design to develop ways to incorporate issues of curriculum, funding, facility planning, and sustainable strategies into the overall design of the building. This information was used to develop concepts or “patterns” for incorporating environmentally sustainable strategies into the planning and design of charter school buildings. Team members travelled to eight charter schools in Indiana, interviewed students and faculty, discussed the schools’ pedagogical philosophies with administration and board members, and developed school profiles examining curriculum, funding and facility planning. At the end of each semester, the students will complete the profiles and extract/articulate design principles for incorporating in an illustrated guidebook, which is updated every semester as the project progresses. This book as well as the development of a comprehensive website will serve to distribute the information to a wider audience.
