Maggie L. Walker Govenor's School - Renovations & Additions
This 1930's style, double loaded corridor traditional high school was renovated to create a functional, flexible environment for the twenty first century high school with innovative programs. The final design met the challenges of the project, providing a functional, flexible, diverse, dynamic and comfortable learning environment for this unique program
  • Diverse learning spaces were created, rich with technology, within a flexible school organization that allows interdisciplinary and traditional school models.
  • Dispersed administration and guidance brought administrative services closer to the students.    Circulation was simplified for safety and ease of traffic flow.   
  • Various types and sizes of gathering spaces provide many areas for spontaneous instruction or formal presentations.  
  • The Student Commons, Cafeteria Commons, Black-box Theatre, Auditorium, and Forum all provide for formal and informal group interaction.   
  • Specialty labs for science, technology, language, 2D and 3D art, broadcast, and music provide areas appropriately equipped for specialized instruction.   
  • The Senior Commons provides a place for seniors to collaborate, socialize, and build identity as a group.  
  • Technology is everywhere, with full capabilities for a student laptop environment
