On
March 15, 2004, the Board of Governors of Indian Springs School
approved the Campus Master Plan concept as presented by Dick
Pigford of ArchitectureWorks, LLP.
ArchitectureWorks'
presentation was the culmination of several months' work,
which included a Town Meeting and faculty-student Building
Committee meetings and involved the Planning Committee of
the Board. The four Design Goals relate to the current Strategic
Plan, which calls for a renewed commitment to the school as
a single, effective learning community. The goals include
(1) developing an open, pedestrian-friendly campus; (2) creating
spaces that encourage intellectual and social interaction
while respecting the need for privacy; (3) providing an appropriate
balance between openness and security; and (4) promoting increased
interaction with the natural surroundings through environmentally
sensitive design. Taken together, all four goals are designed
to renew the importance of Learning through Living.
ArchitectureWorks
is currently focusing on program and design details. The firm
will make a presentation to alumni, parents, and all others
interested on April 17 as part of Alumni Weekend.
Highlights
of the plan include:
- New
Dormitories for 46 girls and 46 boys.
- New
Faculty Housing for residential life faculty (4 2-story
units).
- New
Science Center for Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Environmental
Sciences and Greenhouse.
- New
Campus Center containing Student Services, Visual Arts,
Art Gallery, Classrooms and Offices.
- Relocation
of the Main Road to create a pedestrian-friendly link between
residential life and academics, arts, and administration.
