From the beginning of my involvement, I have been impressed by the amount of collaboration and teamwork that has gone into making The Cube a reality. So many different individuals have added to the collective idea and design! Students have been brought in to give their own opinions on what they want. The Media Center Staff like myself, our IT Integration Team, Tech Specialists and Tech Teachers have met numerous times over the past few months to talk over space use, tech needs and how to keep our student ideas within our Cube's 3 C's vision. Then our administration began to get involved with Vice Principals, our Interim Principal, and even our Superintendent coming to our meetings.
Isn't it incredible that a space is being created with the combined ideas of such diverse individuals? From 5th graders to Superintendents, everyone's ideas are being represented in our final product!
There's nothing like a creative brainstorming session with people hunched over floor-plans excitedly drawing alterations, that's what our last few meetings have been like! Floor-plans have evolved from having very separate areas to a large, flowing space with multi-use areas, performance space, and the integration of media and literary areas into one seamless center. Things are being agreed upon, a bookshelf here, a standing computer area there... we'll have a final floor-plan soon!
