engagement strategies and educational signage and graphics help communicate each site’s special history in unique ways. Lanier HS of San Antonio, TX, is home to the Engineering Career Institute, a district magnet program offering students opportunity to focus in one of four different strands or majors. The 181,000 SF academic building, built
in 1975, is the focus of major renovation work on the 1700 student campus. Roosevelt HS in Los Angeles, CA is a large, comprehensive high school with a rich history of immigrant groups in the area with artwork and murals being preserved while new construction replaces demolition.
Learning Objectives
OBJ #1 Recognize broad community engagement strategies and the importance to the success of a public project. OBJ #2 Understand how to approach stakeholders who have a personal connection to historical components of a site. OBJ #3 Communicate the objective of an “interpretive program” in the form of signage and graphics.
OBJ #4 Become familiar with principles of historic preservation and when to engage an expert.

Innovate, Iterate, Prototype: How failing fast can generate engaging and effective learning
environments.
Gregory Monberg, AIA, ALEP, Director of Architecture, Wightman / David Eichberg, Superintendent, Berrien Springs Public Schools / Tony Lieninger, President, CARMI Design / Carl Baxmeyer, REFP, AICP, Planning Department Manager, Wightman & Associates / Garden 1/ AIA CEU: 1. 0 LU / Primary Core Competencies: Educational Visioning / Secondary Core Competencies: Community Engagement
Our multidisciplinary presentation team of a superintendent, a planner, and two architects will demonstrate a variety of techniques in design thinking with real world case studies of how these processes produced effective and engaging learning environments for a range of activities and ages; from early childhood through middle school and high school. The first case study will explain how design thinking led to a renovated early childhood center. The second will focus on the creation of a cutting-edge STREAM Lab within the confines of an outdated natatorium. The third will include the design process for visioning and community engagement for a new performing arts and indoor athletic facility for a middle school and high school.
Learning Objectives
OBJ #1 Describe how design thinking can lead to improved engagement from a community visioning group.
OBJ #2 Understand how rapid prototyping can streamline the design process and create unexpected solutions. OBJ #3 Define the steps needed for design thinking to be productive in creating an effective and engaging learning environment.
OBJ #4 Contrast the different paths in design thinking to develop a successful outcome for varying age levels and differing educational programs.
