COMMUNITY WELLNESS AND NUTRITION EDUCATION

Roosevelt Elementary School District sought innovation and creativity in school nutrition via their new Culinary Center. The five-acre site houses a unique and innovative multipurpose facility designed to not only serve as the hub for the District’s Child Nutrition Department, but also serve as an instructional resource to enhance and support Wellness and Nutrition Education within the Roosevelt School District. The design and purpose of this state-of-the-art facility is to directly promote healthy lifestyles for the students and residents of the South Mountain community. Roosevelt’s Wellness Center focuses on the ideas that are driving the design of a groundbreaking food warehouse, conference center, and demonstration garden that is accessible to the surrounding neighborhoods. Hydroponics, solar strategies and other green options, inspired designers and the District’s “Top Chef” to realize this community vision.

This project included the renovation of the existing auditorium into a state-of-the art performing arts center to seat 750 people.

LIVING, LEARNING, AND
WORKING SPACES

With the need for affordable housing plaguing many of our communities, BCCG partners with both local school districts and private management organizations to bring mutually beneficial solutions to both graduates and new teachers alike. Living, learning and working initiatives have provided residency halls and off campus living to first generation students as they persistent to and through graduation and launch their professional career. More than just apartments, these programs provide students with the supports they need to advance academically and build the resilience they need to graduate. Through private partnerships, similar teacher residency programs focus on recruitment and retention of top talent to the profession. These unique spaces provide both both affordable housing options as well as integrated professional development centers and resources to support the first years of teaching. As a strategic partner, BCCG is committed to design and construct communities of practice that are both flexible and affordable.

REPURPOSE AND REVITALIZE

Veritas Preparatory Academy, a founding member of the prestigious Great Hearts Academies, serves 6th-12th grade students by providing the finest liberal arts education possible for families in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Offering a challenging yet rewarding curriculum focused on the development of deep appreciation for the true, the good, and the beautiful. Embodying those values in design, the Veritas facility was born through the renovation of a vacant Motorolla Adminstrative Building. While adaptive reuse projects require careful site selection and attention to due diligence, the potential benefits to both communities and school systems are substantial. A revitalized ghost box can spur tangible impacts on community development, reduce landfill impacts, reduce sprawl, preserve greenfield sites, and promote recycling on a large scale. And the Intangible For schools, adaptive reuse of these buildings may offer significant time savings in providing much-needed school facilities, and generate opportunities for innovative design, state-of-the-art educational facilities, and inspiring spaces in which to teach and learn.
