DAG Architects worked with stakeholders to design a two-story high school addition, as well as upgrade additional areas of Rocky Bayou Christian School in Niceville, Florida.
The firm presented the project to stakeholders via VR technology, which helped raise an additional $3.5 million to make the project even better than first imagined.
The new building includes three fully outfitted lab spaces; a STEAM classroom lab with indoor-outdoor access for experimentation and varied learning; and administration, conference, and informal gathering spaces.
Classrooms were designed to maximize daylight and flexibility.
Traffic improvements included widening the entry road to the school, upgrading the parking lot and lighting, and adding sidewalks for pedestrian safety.
Collaboration with stakeholders led to a cohesive branding vision, with museum-like graphics telling the school’s history intertwined with inspirational Christian messages.
DAG is set to help the school reimagine their campus master plan in 2025.
