Ruck Pate ARCHITECTURE 13 December 2016 Dr. Susan Wings Superintendent Harrison School District 36 6809 McCullom Lake Road Wonder Lake, Illinois 60097 Dear Dr. Wings: Consider the word es·sen·tial {eh-sen-shuh l} - adjective - absolutely necessary, extremely important. Identifying and selecting a design partner that understands what success looks like from your perspective is essen- tial to your school project. Engaging your community and staff to elicit their needs, knowledge, and ideas is essential to creating a responsive solution for your PK-8 students. Demonstrating to students and parents how learning is linked to the physical environment is essential when pro- gramming new spaces. It is essential to work with District administrators to understand challenges and envision collaborative solutions. All true statements. All necessary. And all part of RuckPate Architecture’s approach to school work. Our strength is working with communities to facilitate, gather, interpret, create, and bring positive change to learning and lives, and new energy to existing facilities. It’s what we do. And it’s what we’ll deliver for District 36. Our approach is simple: Begin with a talented team, couple it with decades of direct project experience, and focus it on Harrison School’s concerns and needs. We offer the following for your consideration: School specialization. From program and curriculum analysis to revealing the optimal configuration for your school, we have the specialized experience to help the District achieve its goals.

We know that complete, accurate, and timely information is essential for a successful pro- ject. We are always available to answer a question or respond to an unexpected event – on-line, over the phone, or in-person. We’ll be there. Optimal solutions. Our ability to accurately estimate and track project costs lets us maximize your budget dol- lars. At your direction, we can vary parameters and change assumptions while still in the planning phase; testing various scenarios and providing the District with multiple ways forward. Irresistible motivation. Though we already have a relationship with Harrison through our work with NRB Land, we realize you may not be fully aware of RuckPate’s capabilities and qualifications or our sincere interest in serving the District.

Firm Experience & Capabilities – PK - 12 Experience Richard D. Crosby Elementary School Harvard, Illinois Contact: Mr. Steve MillerHarvard District 50 401 N. Division St. Harvard, IL 815.943.4022 The first new school in Harvard since 1963, the construction was well supported by the community, funded through a successful refer- endum and school construction grant. The school within a school concept provides four academic neighborhoods each with nine classrooms (10 at full day kinder- garten). Each neighborhood also features a Discovery Center in support of STEM education and the arts. A large gymnasium sup- ports the school and community use. 14
To reinforce identity and assist way- finding, a four-color scheme is used in the school. Yellow, red, green and blue patterns in the floor lead students and visitors to the respective houses. Each house employs one of the four colors as the predominant accent. The color scheme is repeated in painted motifs on walls. Multi-color patterns are used in common areas. The color association is the basis for clear differentiation be- tween areas of the building. In addition, a circle-triangle-square graphic motif is incorporated on walls, tile, and carpet throughout the building as a learning tool and space identifier.The inclusion of four Discovery Centers makes a highly flexible, andyet functionally equipped teaching resource available for dedicateduse by each grade level. Each classroom teacher has the ability toprovide extraordinary access to science, art, technology, and flexiblegroup space for fully integrated and well equipped group experiences.Featuring specialized storage, large art/science sinks, two overheadvideo projectors, wireless computer support, interactive white board,and space for multiple classes, the Discovery Center acts as an invalu-able and indispensable extension of the classroom teaching environ-ment.15

Firm Experience & Capabilities – PK - 12 ExperienceLaremont School Contact:Gages Lake, Illinois Dr. Thomas Moline Superintendent, SEDOL 18160 W. Gages Lake Rd Gages Lake, IL 60030 847.986.2319 The new Laremont School (part of the SEDOL Coopera- tive) serves severe and profound disabled students from pre-school through twenty-one years of age. The new facility is built on land purchased adjacent to the existing SEDOL campus and involves a separate covered bus drop off/pickup area, staff / visitor parking, playground and sen- sory garden areas. Recently completed, the new facility is state of the art and provides flexible classrooms, specialty rooms and spaces, therapeutic rooms, and administrative offices.The design of the facility was rooted in the simplicity ofnature and the growth of each student in daily activitiesand in their progression throughout the school. A de-sign concept that became a priority was visual and tactilereferences. By incorporating materials, colors and im-ages that centered around the theme of nature we wereable to playfully incorporate the nature concept. 18
The designers sought a building that would be stimu- lating, invigorating, and recognizable for the students that have difficulty interacting with their environment. In ad- dition, maintaining the motivation and quality of life of students and staff members was a significant goal. The solution should be colorful, playful, and recognizable as a special place for special children, and visually celebrate their uniqueness and importance.Protecting the students during bus loading and unloading is important to the necessary safety and security ofthe environment. With so many physically disabled students, the loading/unloading process is abnormallylong. The translucent extended bus canopy provides shelter for up to twenty buses during inclementweather. Additional spaces include a gymnasium/lunchroom, mobility room, music, and sensory rooms.As an important part of the students IEPs, walking or movement is necessary. Students move aroundoutside the building and through the sensory garden at the west side of the bus area and studententrance. The garden allows students to experience the sight, feel, and smell of a variety of plantmaterials while engaged in movement across a variety of paving textures.19
Firm Experience & Capabilities – PK - 12 ExperienceWilliam Attea Middle SchoolGlenview, Illinois This new school is located in the heart of Glenview’s redevelop- ment of the vacated Naval Air Station. Thoughtful long-range plan- ning done concurrently with the Village’s planners has resulted in unprecedented shared use of facilities. The building site is in a vil- lage park adjacent to a community center, lake, and park amenities. The three-story solution minimizes the building footprint, reduces travel distance and time within the school, and reinforces the sepa- ration of public and academic zones. The cooperative nature of the site provides many amenities for the school, including paths and nature trails, an adjacent amphitheater, lake with sailing oppor- tunities, tennis courts, and dynamic vistas. 20
Fine Arts—A 100-student band room, 80-student or-chestral music room, large general music, double artroom, and a generous drama room are grouped in a largefine arts suite, demonstrating the commitment to thearts. The area may be accessed by students for before-school rehearsals without opening the secured school.Abundant windows fill the art room with south light, andcreate a backdrop of nature for the drama room. Highceilings further expand the instrumental music rooms.The design employs vestibule entrances and uses inter-vening storage, office, and practice spaces to isolatesound from the rest of the building.Organized Circulation—All traffic flows Fieldhouse—The linking of the two competition basketball court allowsthrough a central atrium space that provides for multiple configuration for bothvertical access, and acts as a social hub.

The design re- sponds to Kaneland's team-based middle school teaching model, offering a variety of traditional and exploratory programs in a 5- core curriculum format for sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students.The first phase of a 200 acremaster planned campus, thisnew school was designed as aprototype building that may beconstructed by the district inan 800 or 1200 student con-figuration.

The site includes two basketball courts, four tennis courts, football field with 6 lane track, and a storage/concessions building. The community supported a successful referendum to fund the project. The design also takes advantage of natural light and landscape views. Responding to the District’s strong Fine Arts program, the de- sign incorporates a unique ‘art gallery’ con- cept, in which framed student artwork and 3 -D pieces will have a prominent role both on the school interior hallways and in display cases throughout the building.23
Firm Experience & Capabilities – PK - 12 ExperienceMaercker Elementary SchoolClarendon Hills, Illinois The new 600-student Maercker School is the keystone of the district’s program to expand and update facilities. The Maercker School serves grades 3-5 while the Holmes School serves K-2 and Westview Hills serves grades 6-8. Three projects, on-time and under budget, were accom- plished through dedication to excellence and commitment to a cooperative team process involving the Architect, Con- struction Manager and District. GOALS: Expand to accommodate 600 students per school Update facilities to support curriculum Provide efficient and economical build- ings to minimize operating costs Promote after-hours community use of school district facilities Deliver the project on-time and on- budget and no surprises 24
To implement the expansion pro- gram all construction was per- formed while keeping the exist- ing schools operational. The Maercker School was constructed in two phases to meet this require- ment. First, the three-story class- room wing was constructed behind the old school buildings, then over the summer, the old buildings were demolished and the sec- ond phase was constructed, includ- ing the Gym and administration area. The new plan is compact; classrooms are located in a three-story wing, one grade per floor, with ground floor Cafeteria/Multi-purpose Room. The plan is arranged to allow the Gym and Cafeteria/Multi-Purpose Room to be opened for community use after school without allowing public access to the classroom areas. This arrangement simplifies supervision and security, while making after-hours community access easier and less burdensome for the district. The main stair, located in a skylighted atrium, facilitates student movement between floors and improves supervision by eliminating the need for students to use the emergency exit stairways for normal passing. Located between the Multi- purpose Room and Gym, the stage is equipped with a moveable partition at the back, allowing the stage to serve the gym for special events. The new Band Room, supporting the District's vigorous elementary band program, is located next to the gym at the end of the building to avoid disturbance to other instructional areas.25
Firm Experience & Capabilities – PK - 12 ExperiencePrairieview Elementary SchoolGrayslake, Illinois School Districts like District 46 which experi- ence rapid growth face a dilemma when deter- mining the best way to house the expanding student population. Do we build larger schools or seek public approval for more small schools? Political realities often force districts to choose large schools as the only viable op- tion, but large schools can be intimidating for young learners. This school is a unique solu- tion to the size dilemma. 26
Like many sites in Lake County, wetlands on the site must be preserved. The site design incorporates creative use of the wet- land areas to provide an interesting visual element while opening the door to exciting curriculum opportunities. Prairieview staff members incorporate hands-on ecology lessons into the educational program. The site is also the location of the earliest set- tlement in Lake County, and excavations have unearthed the remnants of these early settlements. The new school offers the opportunity to incorporate tangible lessons from the early settlement of Illinois and Lake County into the educational program. The school consists of four \"family\" groups of 175 students. Each family group includes seven Classrooms, one Special Education Classroom, Large Group and Small Group instructional space. The family groups are paired in two \"neighborhoods\" of 350 students each. The neighborhood groups share an Art Room as well as toilets, storage, and other support functions. Four Kindergarten rooms with dedicated Kin- dergarten Large Group and Outdoor Play space are positioned as a \"bridge\" between the two neighborhoods. This arrangement effectively creates two 350-student schools which share common Learning Center, Computer Lab, Multi- Purpose, Music, Gym, and Administration areas. Students of one family never cross through an- other family space to access common facilities. Prairieview staff members incorporate hands-on ecology lessons into the edu- cational program. The site is also the location of the earliest settlement in Lake County, and excavations have un- earthed the remnants of these early settlements. The new school offers the opportunity to incorporate tangible lessons from the early settlement of Illinois and Lake County into the educa- tional program.27
Firm Experience & Capabilities – PK - 12 ExperienceCounty Meadows & Woodlawn SchoolBuffalo Grove, Illinois The site for this new school campus was a 50- acre former farm that the District wanted to restore back to its prairie origins, using prairie grasses, wildflower mixes, and the surrounding woods. These natural surroundings form the basis of the school’s progressive environ- mental education program. The schools’ ar- chitecture evolved from the rural country es- tates in the adjoining area. The school board had the strong desire to blend into the resi- dential character of Long Grove.Country Meadows and WoodlawnSchool is a combined K-5/6-8 facilitythat can operate as one school or beseparated into a completely compart-mentalized school. In addition, the Linkbuilding can be opened up for publicuse after hours without allowing accessinto any academic areas. 28
The Link Building allows Kildeer School Dis- trict to further renew their long-standing commitment to the arts in an economical manner. Areas in this building include: Band Room; Orchestra; Drama and Visual Arts; Kitchen and Service Areas; Health Class and Community Room; Building Infrastructure and Storage; and the Gymnasium, able to seat the entire 1,200-student population. Country Meadows Elementary School amenities include flexible group study areas in each pod; television, computer and tele- phone access to every room and office; student lockers within each room allowing for superior supervision and private student space. Common facilities in each wing, in- clude special education rooms, small group instruction rooms, counseling and confer- ence facilities Woodlawn Middle School’s design in- cludes three distinct academic wings pivoting around the central spaces that include a learning center, large com- puter lab, home economics, and a modular technology lab.29
Firm Experience & Capabilities – PK - 12 ExperienceRichmond Burton High SchoolRichmond, IllinoisRichmond-Burton Community High School District 157 is a one school district consisting of the155,000 square foot High School located in Richmond, Illinois. Faced with demographic projectionsthat indicated the potential for significant growth, RuckPate Architecture was commissioned to com-plete a facility study to understand the adequacy of the facility to meet the current 800 student popu-lation and the programmatic impacts of growth. In particular, prior to investing in building expan-sion, the Board of Education needed to determine whether expansion of the existing facility or con-struction of a second high school would be the preferred option.The initial study findings resulted in the recommendation that the building would have to be ex-panded to a minimum of 1200 students before considering a second school. It was further recom-mended that a master plan be developed for the campus to accommodate 1500 students in the eventthat it was not economically feasible to plan a second school upon reaching a population of 1200.RuckPate Architecture completed a master plan design consisting of a program document, phasedfloor plans and site plans to demonstrate the feasibility of accommodating 1500 students, identify themissing program components to meet current and future needs, and depict how an incremental ex-pansion could be phased.Based on the master plan, RuckPate developed detailed plans for a Phase One gymnasium and lockerroom expansion. Phase Two would include a new larger cafeteria/student commons, and conversionof existing space to fine arts. Future phases would include additional classrooms, a new learning me-dia center, and auditorium. “John, the Master Plan is simply magnificent. The careful thought, in- sight and planning are outstanding. I am so impressed. This docu- ment will provide a blueprint for the dis- trict's facility develop- ment for many years to come. The roadmap is superb! I look forward to work- ing alongside you on behalf of our school community.” - Dr. Dan Oest Superintendent 30

The two schools have separate, but combinable cafeterias/multi-purpose room, with independ-ent food service lines; meals produced from a single preparation kitchen. Visitor and parent entrancesand the administrative suites are now located on the west side of the buildings including 14 parkingspaces designated as visitor. Bus drop/off pickup and student entrances are now located on the eastside of the buildings, entering adjacent to the new cafeterias. A separate entrance is provided for thenew second floor District Offices. The east parking lot includes a bus lane and parking.35
Firm Experience & Capabilities – PK - 12 ExperienceGlenview School District 34Glenview, IL Pleasant Ridge School Pleasant Ridge School Additions to three existing schools—Glen Grove, Pleasant Ridge and Hoffman School—preserve equitable enrollments for each school while maintaining a “cluster” school concept, a crucial factor in deciding where the additions would be implemented. The three additions comprise several new classrooms, small group instruction spaces, and general support areas. Alterations vary from cafeteria expansions to access/security improvements in accordance with the District’s newly adopted safety and security policy. Glen Grove, Pleasant Ridge, and Hoffman School each incorporate new instructional music space from re-allocated spaces within their facilities.Glen Grove Elementary School Design solutions for each school are sensitive to the surrounding residential neighborhood. One-story addition configurations maintain scale and exterior windows and brick forms provide a seamless transition from the existing structures. New parking arrangements at each school are designed to ease student and traffic flow and have less impact on the residential neighborhood. Glen Grove parking is re- structured, while Hoffman and Pleasant Ridge parking is expanded and reconfigured so that bus parking is separate from parent/visitor drop-off parking. These projects were completed on time and under budget in August 2008. While school was in session, care was taken to safeguard students and minimize any disrup- tion to ongoing education.Hoffman Elementary School 36
Lyon Elementary SchoolGlenview, ILDistrict 34 prioritized creating secure entrances at all its schools. Lyon School, built in the 1940s, pre-sented a challenge. The Administrative Office was located across the corridor from an unsecured en-trance. RuckPate noted that an existing Kindergarten Room had good access to the visitor parkingwith a potential for a direct, controlled entrance. The Kindergarten was remodeled to include a moni-tored Entrance Vestibule, Principal’s Office, General Office, Work Room and Nurse’s Suite. The oldSchool Office was remodeled to be a new Kindergarten. All visitors are now received at the new mainentry and access is supervised. This solution proved to be very cost effective compared to building anoffice addition to address the problem. It was accomplished without reducing the student capacity ofthe school or altering the historically significant front façade.37
Firm Experience & Capabilities – PK - 12 ExperienceBerkeley School District 87Berkeley, ILThe 3,100 sf addition and 1,000 sf renovation to the Berkeley Administration Center allowed the Dis-trict to consolidate District administrative staff in and single location, freeing-up space in severalschools for teaching specialists. The addition provides the District with six private offices, one largeconference room and 650 sf of storage space. The large conference room provides needed space forBoard closed sessions so that the public attending board meetings can remain in their seats in theBoard Room while the closed session is held in the conference room. Technology is integrated intoeach conference area to support presentations and video conferencing. Renovations to the existingadministration area provide a seamless connection to the new space. The project included storm wa-ter management improvements to the site. The project was phased to allow continued functioning ofthe District office throughout construction with minimum disturbance of staff. The District moved intothe addition in November. Total construction cost of $1,100,000. 38
Firm Experience & Capabilities – PK - 12 Experience Willowbrook Elementary School Northbrook, IL District 30 identified several improvement goals for Willowbrook Elementary School through the com- pletion of the 2011 Master Planning and Condition Assessment. Top priority was given to improving security at the main entrance to the school. It was determined that an addition was necessary to house the new secure entrance which would contain the administrative offices and nurse’s office. The original administrative office was located deep inside the school which meant that any visitors to the school walked freely into the school. The new main entrance allows single point access into the school for visi- tors. Any visitor to the school can only gain access with permission from the office who will now be able to screen individuals entering and leaving the building. The existing office space is being remodeled into a new art room with supporting space including extra39
Firm Experience & Capabilities – Design of SpacesGeneral education spaces.RuckPate Architecture has a long history of educational planning and designs based on stakeholder en-gagement and educator input. Our designs have proven to be responsive, flexible, and adaptable. Wellequipped classrooms with immediacy to small group spaces, paired with large group spaces featuringrobust electrical and technology friendly characteristics, allow for instructional delivery that is interdis-ciplinary, project-based, and research-driven. The variety and adjacency of educational spaces pro-motes an environment where students can work self-directed or with peers as facilitated by the in-structional staff. Many of our new schools have learning environments based on small learning commu-nities. A few examples are included below.Crosby Elementary School - 2011 Kaneland Middle School - 2009 Harvard High School - 2014Crosby Elementary School - 2011 Kaneland Middle School - 2009 Harvard High School - 2014Crosby Elementary School - 2011 Kaneland Middle School - 2009 Harvard High School - 2014 40
