Exploring opportunities and obstacles through planning
During the week of March 16th, planning firm Fanning-Howey involved school and community members in a workshop known as a “charrette.” The charrette is an intensive, interactive design session where design professionals work in collaboration with stakeholders to explore design. The recent charrette was held to explore opportunities and obstacles in translating the May 2008 Pre-planning Vision Report into plan options, rather than to develop a final design solution. The options were to interpret and reflect the Vision Report’s goals and the district's educational program specifications as part of a plan to renew the West-Romig campus.
Each design team was charged with approaching plan options from a different perspective such as: changing the entrance to the campus, maintaining as much of the existing buildings as possible, exploring multiple stories, etc. By approaching the problem from these varied perspectives, many more opportunities and obstacles became exposed. The plan options shown below are the result. Please review them and provide reactions to the ideas generated in these sessions. Your input is important. Please see our "public/student involvement" page for additional details.
