\n

The Salamanca CCSD STEAM Center of Excellence is an additional 14,448 sqft of space added to the existing Middle\/High School. After being identified as a priority school with a graduation rate at 60%, the district began to heavily invest in Science, Technology, Arts and Math (STEAM) programing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The addition includes a technology room, a robotics laboratory, CADD room, a 3D printing room, a large makers space, woodshop, classrooms, and a new art room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Each space is interconnected with regular doors and large overhead doors to promote collaboration and free movement throughout the rooms. These spaces are all visually connected with windows to promote interaction and facilitate staff supervision. The makers space and the wood\/tech shop are connected both internally and externally with large overhead doors that allow the program to expand and utilize the paved outdoor areas adjacent to each space. The exterior doors facilitate educational expansion outdoors and bring in additional natural light.. Every room is furnished with flexible furniture and equipment that can be customized for small and large group collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each space represents a level of project production and encourages students to move through the rooms as they progress. Students can start their designs utilizing the CADD classroom, build\/ print in the 3D printing room & robotics lab, and finish off with final assembly, testing and troubleshooting their final projects in the maker\u2019s space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural design elements and finishes were important to the district and local community with a shared Native American heritage. We provided a versatile space that is industrial in design but incorporates natural elements and textures. Exposed timber beams in each room along with exposed concrete blocks highlight each element due to the contrast. School pride is incorporated by weaving bright school colors of red, white, and gray into the finishes for a cohesive design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
