Propel Braddock Hills
Pittsburgh, PA
Propel has put the idea of a traditional classroom to rest; to enforce collaborative learning, student advisory rooms were constructed in place of classrooms. Student advisory rooms have half walls that integrate classrooms allowing for shared communications. Multiple breakout rooms with windowed walls give students the opportunity to gather in small groups for discussion and collaboration on classroom assignments in private but visible quarters. The final build also hosts a variety of other spaces where students learn and create. Art studios designed with garage style doors allow students to create large scale projects. Dance and music studios give students a workspace to refine and showcase other talents through windowed walls which give the space an open feel.
