As part of a broader Capital Improvements Project (CIP), CPL provided comprehensive design services to create high-performing STEAM spaces that bridge core academics and cognitive skill development with practical learning. These laboratory-style environments are engineered to empower students, enabling them to explore their interests and develop a wide range of skills through immersive, hands-on education.
Moreover, a captivating thematic element inspired by a bustling “beehive of activity” was incorporated to further enhance the learning experience. This concept is reinforced through the use of hexagonal acoustical control panels, vibrant accents, and playful light fixtures.
The resulting aesthetically pleasing classrooms provide an engaging environment where students can uncover their passions and enjoy the journey of discovery through hands-on, exploratory learning.
