Franklin Elementary School LRC

// Education
StudioGC designed a renovated space with new furnishings for present-day student learning, flexibility, and multiple functions for Park Ridge-Niles School District 64. The colorful, vibrant color of the renovation reinvigorated the LRC and the existing classic story murals that the students cherished. The furnishings promote student engagement and the empowerment through choice.
An area for presentations, seminars and small groups was designed to be re-configured based on the needs of the class being held. Flexibility is important to promote choice, creativity, connection making and cross-curricular learning.
A separate maker-space area was designed for another class to occupy the LRC simultaneously. Maker-spaces accommodate project-based learning where students discover, create, practice and share ideas with each other.
