David Foley, Knoch superintendent, pointed out that DRAW Collective architects spent considerable time with teachers to configure the classrooms.
The tech-ed area will house graphics, robotics and fabrication labs.
Renninger said the goal is to have teachers in all departments use the tech-ed area and its sophisticated equipment.
“We want to get the most utilization out of it,” she said.
Renninger envisions various teachers bringing their students to the labs for a period to create or innovate an element of their curriculum.
“We are trying to open it up and make it more inviting,” she said.
The new wellness suite will have a track, fitness equipment, a trainer’s room and other health-related features.
Students will be able to come in and use the space without being part of a class.
“We’re trying to make the space very inviting, so kids will come in and use it,” Renninger said.
A widened hallway with oversize lockers will be included at the wellness suite.
