White Settlement ISD worked with VLK to reimagine one of the district’s underutilized elementary schools into an early learners academy. The updated campus creates an inviting storybook experience, as students  enter through a lobby that is designed as an interactive woodland. Pillars that are wrapped like trees have reading nooks cut into the bases, a two-story rock formation includes a bear cave for students to nestle into and play, and a slide emerges from a waterfall on the second floor and spills down over the rocks. The renovated campus includes hallway collaboration spaces so that learning can extend beyond the classrooms, as well as updated play spaces, and all new finishes and fixtures throughout.
