When Frisco Independent School District (Frisco ISD) asked Stantec to design their new Minett Elementary School, they wanted to provide students and instructors with a learning environment that would support future-ready education.
According to Stantec, the desire for a co-teaching model drove the design of grade level pods that could support a variety of instructional models and promote interactive, collaborative learning. Organized into two houses, the pods connect directly to the central learning commons and adjacent media spaces. Transparency throughout places learning on display and allows for passive supervision. Spatial diversity, foldable glass walls, and intentional furniture design in the variety of space sizes and types enable flexibility and adaptability.
For the foldable glass walls, Stantec selected the NW Acoustical 645 from NanaWall. This thermally broken system delivers acoustical performance up to unit STC 45. The ultraslim panel frame measures 1-3/4” (45mm) and floor supported panels were capable of heights up to 11’6” (3500mm).
