Webber Elementary

Plans

A design team is working to create a replacement academic wing of the building, plus a reconstructed office including a secure entrance, a new STEM lab, and a new media center.

The site will also have redesigned parking for improved traffic flow, including a new bus loop.

Students will remain in the current facility during construction of the new wing. Once the new wing is completed, students will move into that area, allowing the previous wing to be removed.

The construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2020 and conclude in the fall of 2021.

Process

• The group discussed the outdoor site wayfinding signs (directions in the parking and driveways) and the connection between the parking areas to the school. The outdoor learning area’s seating designs and furniture was a focus.
• The indoor discussion centered around the flooring and design materials in all areas. The look of the main office, the media center, STEM areas and even the classrooms were shared.
• A separate group discussed the specifics of the renovated Webber kitchen, including the location of the storage, cooler, freezer, cook area and the dishwashing. Much of the conversation revolved around the serving line and process for students under the new design. (November 20 Update)
