新创意与设计中心破土动工

After a successful fundraising campaign for the CC&D, which included generous capital donations from trustees, parents, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, and faculty and staff, 贝博体育 School’s 校董会 voted to approve the construction of the CC&D in January 2021. The state- of-the-art, two-floor, 7,000 square-foot facility will be located in the center of 贝博体彩app’s campus, in the current location of the Root Meeting Room, overlooking Harlow Circle. 建设过程将持续大约18个月，CC&D预计将于2022年秋季向K-9年级的学生开放。

 

The current home for 贝博体育’s signature Creativity and Design program is the Innovation Lab, which was retrofitted into four small classrooms on the edge of campus in 2013. While 贝博体育app’s design thinking curriculum (focused on an empathy-based, solution-oriented approach to solving problems) distinguishes us from our peer schools, the Innovation Lab’s physical limitations have constrained us from achieving the program’s vast potential.

 

新的创意与设计中心的面积将是现有创新实验室的两倍。 It will include modular, user-friendly spaces that are well- lit, soundproofed, and outfitted specifically for creative problem-solving among students and faculty, featuring sophisticated tools for making students’ creative ideas and designs a reality. Perhaps most importantly, it will position creativity and design at the heart of 贝博体育’s campus, fostering collaboration among faculty and reinforcing design thinking as an integral component of our academic program.
