Bible Hill Consolidated Elementary

The Bible Hill Elementary School is located within the agrarian landscape of Bible Hill. Three main areas animate the new school including the entry and common areas; student support and resources; and the learning street. The learning street is a flexible learning environment and central shared collaborative zone. It links the more formal learning spaces such as classrooms to shared spaces. It incorporates the art room, library, and circulation areas. Places for wet or messy activities; active group work; and quiet individual and group activities are shaped using agile furnishings, which are easily rearranged to suit a variety of activities. The building recognizes that each student learns differently and that individual learning styles must be accommodated in the design of the learning spaces.
