From the 2024 Educational Interiors Showcase: Live Oaks Career Campus

Live Oaks is a Career Technical Campus built in 1971 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The existing facility was unwelcoming with a receding, dark entry that posed a security risk. The new entry clarifies the entrance with a secure sequence that stops guests at reception before going letting them farther into the building. The entry lobby is an asymmetrical high/low combined, expansive volume that creates a varied experience, leading visitors into the central “commons.” The second level holds all the core curriculum; the first floor branches into differing “academies” for each field of study.
