Innovation may begin as a singular idea, but it takes a whole team to make it come alive. This is so true of our 21st Century Learning Lab. Last Wednesday, members of our team met with the architects to see their "final" renditions of our new space. As they presented their 3D drawings (see photos), it was clear that our ideas were really taking shape. To know that the vision, input, wishes and needs (as articulated by students, staff, teachers, librarians and administrators alike) were taken into consideration and built into the final plans.
WOW! I thought. How amazing that this planning and building process epitomizes the 4Cs that our space is built upon...
- ideas were communicated...
- students, teachers, librarians, administrators and architects collaborated...
- plans were created...
- and examined critically...
- and the cycle continues...
