Many stakeholders were enabled as decision makers in the design process through regular meetings with a selected Design Committee, presentations to the school board, and multiple meetings on site with the community, teachers, staff, parents, and students. In the concept phase the community gave feedback on what inspirational images and guiding principles resonated with them. In schematic design community members responded to initial layouts and helped the school form take shape. Blending the addition and the renovation became a crucial goal for the project for inclusivity amongst the students and the community.
