Tour 1: FutureForward at Washington Square – Adams 12 5 Star
Schools
This is the district’s second career and technical education campus, opened to students in October
2020. The new campus, along with a renovation to the existing Bollman campus, will accommodate 80 percent more students across the district in CTE opportunities. Career and Technical Education (CTE) at Adams 12 Five Star Schools provides multiple pathways to a wide range of in-demand careers with competitive salaries. Available to all high school students in the Five Star District, CTE courses combine rigorous academics with technical skills in hands-on learning environments. Prior to the 2016 bond, due to limited classroom space, the district was unable to accommodate all students interested in CTE.
Tour 2: Riverview PK-8 – Thompson School District
As the largest project in Thompson’s successful 2018 bond election, community and stakeholder buy-in and transparency of process was critical for success. This 125,000 sf PK-8 school’s design successfully embodies the shared vision developed through this inclusive, open and transparent design process. Throughout the school are moments to encourage learning and inspire curiosity: walls peel back to reveal labeled building infrastructure. A silhouette of the Rocky Mountain Range from Long’s Peak
to Stormy Peaks with labeled elevations runs down the main hallway. A geological section of Devil’s Backbone, a prominent geological feature in Northern Colorado, is reflected in the flooring pattern in the Commons.
