This report explores issues, opportunities, and sixteen design proposals for the
Jasper Natron site in Springfield, Oregon. The goal of this studio was to envision
a school for Springfield that engaged its students on all scales, from furniture
within the classroom to the overall site. The intent was to view the design of
schools through a pedagogical lens, shaping the building to the unique needs
of varied educational philosophies, while also addressing sustainability and
increasing children’s interaction with nature.
