Program Requirements
Elementary, middle and high schools with extensive social services, community services, health services.
Design issues:
Building(s) should facilitate casual interaction between different age levels of children, while simultaneously providing strong identity for each school. Spaces such as auditorium, meeting rooms, gymnasium and some classroom areas should be designed for community access: it should be possible to open such spaces in the evening while keeping the remainder of the building secure.
Architects may use the open area across Clinton from the main site (identified in the neighborhood information) as required open space or for some program component such as the daycare or infant care center. Participants should also consider possible uses of roof area. At their discretion, architects may choose to include only one of the infant and toddler care center or the daycare center.

The auditorium and meeting rooms would be for use by both the school and the community. By using facilities during day and night, the city would be making better use of infrastructure.
