Blanche Sims Elementary School in Lake Orion, Michigan, replaces the oldest elementary building in the district with a modern facility serving students in developmental kindergarten through 5th grade. The building was designed into grade-level pods with classrooms, interior extended learning areas and covered outdoor learning spaces. An emphasis on integrating indoor and outdoor spaces enables students to easily engage with outdoor learning. The school also has a dedicated space focused on STEM learning. This will help students develop their collaborative teamwork skills, problem solving and creativity.
