West Muskingum Elementary School
The Fanning Howey design team collaborated with the District to create a building that is being recognized for its advanced flexibility and technology strategies. The design features five small learning communities, each equipped with specialty studios to support different activities: large group collaboration, project-based learning, presentations, teacher lectures and quiet study. The overall concept of the building provides the District with multi-grade groupings that allow students to learn at their own speed.
