From the 2024 Educational Interiors Showcase: Garden Prairie Intermediate School

Garden Prairie Intermediate School in Beloit, Wisconsin, celebrates the connection between the school and the community through vivid, expressive, and tangible design choices. Beyond fostering a sense of place, the school’s interior serves as a teaching tool. Each grade level has its wing of the school, in what are called neighborhoods that represent the outside community — industry, farmland, wilderness, and riverfront. Large common areas are anchored in the middle, which can be adapted to suit a multitude of learning activities.
