Bannockburn School District 106 expressed the desire to incorporate Science, Technology, Math, and Engineering (STEM) curriculum into their K-8 district which drove the need for renovations at their school. The district engaged staff in discussions on what this curriculum would look like, challenging ARCON to create spaces supporting this vision.
The STEM Lab features flexible seating, a technology wall, 3-D printers, sinks, and wall-mounted tables that raise/lower for storage and use. A unique feature that was designed in the STEM Lab is an overhead catwalk for gravity testing with power cables attached to the bottom and lift up to the catwalk.
