Wold was hired to design a new middle school for the Dunlap CUSD 323 with room for 450 students, with an expanded core to accommodate a near future buildout to bring the facility to a capacity of 900 students. Wold was rehired to design the planned addition in 2018 to accomodate recent growth.
The classrooms, science labs and staff space are designed around a resource area to support the “house” concept. This flexible resource area is equipped with computers for an entire classroom, for use as a computer lab, as well as soft seating, work tables and presentation space. A central “street” and “town square” connect the educational areas to the core functions of the building, such as the cafeteria, library, computer labs, F.A.C.S. Lab, and Art Lab.
