Gretna East High School in Gretna, Nebraska, is all about connections: from land to sky, interior to exterior, and people to people. Commons spaces of varying scale and openness are designed to provide convenient respite for students. They are easily supervised and enable outdoor courtyards to be used as an extension of the learning environment. Two double-height learning commons flank the spacious outdoor courtyard, providing a hub for collaboration and activity. Small learning nooks carved under the circulation stairs provide a cozier setting.
