A school is not just an educational institution; it’s a place where students build their identity. While attending school, students grow in many ways. Throughout the school experience, students will grow emotionally, socially, and mentally if in the proper environment. Negative impacts on the learning environment, such as bullying, restrict the growth of students. Protecting the learning environment is critical to the growth of students. I project that designing schools that deter bullying will result in an inspired and positive learning environment. Hillsboro, North Dakota needs a new high school due to urban sprawl, which is causing over population of their existing school facilities. Urban sprawl has changed the diversity of Hillsboro’s school population, which presents the unfortunate opportunity for increased acts of bullying. In result will produce a negative school environment. Hillsboro’s high school is a prime candidate for adopting the new bully-free approach to school design.
