What was special about this project is that it is community based which means that we get to actually interact with the space that we are designing for and make sure that it is functional as a whole for the students and staff!
While touring the space some questions came into mind: Are there frequent visitors who may need assistance navigating? Are visitors who speak languages other than English? Are there additional features to support students with anxiety or disabilities? s well as the other questions that my peers asked that had thoughtful engagement as well!
What was interesting about the space is that the middle school is actually also connected to an elementary school as well which can be confusing when navigating the space if you do not know the separation!
Many things were important to consider in terms of a directory, signage system, and understanding who is using the space occupied!
