Project Strategy
The West De Pere School District has been experiencing rapid growth in the last decade and found that a new Intermediate School was needed for 5th and 6th grades to address projected capacity needs. The new 123,400 square-foot building is a colorful, vibrant, innovative learning center for the area.
Designed with a “main street” concept, including large corridors and spaces for gathering, blocks of lockers, and connected learning spaces, the students and teachers are able to experience more of a “neighborhood” feeling.
The flooring design provides a fun mix of patterns and contrasting colors that work within the district’s brand colors and ultimately provides wayfinding and encourages natural gathering spaces. Talented installers worked in the building for over six months to complete the project.
