| dc.description.abstract | A school is an institution designed for the teaching of students, yet so often our
school buildings do little to suggest that any learning occurs inside. Our schools should be
designed in a way that enhances the learning experience and encourages students to
take control of their education. The Mandan Alternative Learning Center strives for a new
approach to education design, one that seeks a stronger connection between the program and the place.
The Mandan Alternative Learning Center serves as one possible solution for what a school could become if specific design
concepts are applied throughout the design process. Some of the concepts considered in this project include: air quality, natural lighting and lighting levels, wayfinding and circulation, connection to nature, active design, social interaction, flexible design, occupant control,
site location and context, etc. Research has found many of these design concepts to have a positive influence on both student learning and productivity, as well as student well-being. All of which are essential for future success, however it may be defined. The goal
of this project is to reshape the way in which our schools are designed and experienced to
enhance student learning and well-being. | en_US |
