BUILDING
SUCCESS
IS RIGHT
HOMELESS CHILDREN IN
OKLAHOMA CITY ALONE.
THE SITE
PLAN
The 36,000 square-foot elementary school will have classrooms for birth through 5th grade, art and music, special education, a library and outdoor learning spaces. The facility also has a secure entry vestibule, offices, family support services, meeting rooms, and additional rooms for clothing and donations.
Other features include:
- A large, centrally located commons area
- Collaboration spaces between classrooms
- Outdoor learning spaces
- A gymnasium
- A storm shelter
- A kitchen lab for students and families
- A covered walkway linking to Remerge
THE SITE
LOCATION
The new building will be adjacent to Northcare’s new campus on General Pershing Boulevard between Villa and May Avenue.
Front Entrance
Upon arriving at the school, students are greeted with the schools “core values” on built in benches and multi-colored covered walkways that brighten the building and create excitement for the students. Learning also begins at the front door as students can practice telling time on the 30’ wide sundial or learning the colors of the rainbow.
Outdoor Learning
The “Outdoor Learning” areas provide paved space surrounded by grass and a canopy for shade. Spaces like these allow teachers more flexibility to teach students. The number of games and activities that can be played in this space are only limited by the user’s imagination.
