Florida State University Schools: Developmental Research Lab School Current Educational Programming Needs Instruction that Moves Leaders Who Inspire Research that Makes A Difference

FSUS Music Program All Music Courses practice, store and instruments uniforms in the same classrooms that they teach in. Other than the current Cafeteria, which houses our Extended Day Program year round, there is no where to perform. They frequently practice outside. There is no space for technology-based music or production courses.

Science: Active Learning in Science Courses is limited to sharing space or restricting enrollment in some of the most needed STEAM courses. For example, our Technology Sandbox that fosters learning in Physics and Computer Programming is located in the storage room of Library Medical Sciences courses are taught in small learning spaces located in Health Clinic with little available technology

Current TV Production Studio: Housed in the back storage room of a traditional classroom

Art Classroom: Award winning Art Program cannot expand course offerings due to lack of classroom space. Art supplies and art work are currently housed in classrooms. Art supplies and art work storage needs prevent use of “storefront art gallery” space intended for use as an art gallery.

Impact on Technology Education FSUS is currently unable to expand Technology courses, offer more specialized Technology classes or expand Industry certifications due to lack of appropriately designed and equipped classroom space. In addition, to meet the “STEAM” –based mission, multi-purpose “flexible” class space is needed. Flexible classrooms allow for multiple subjects to be taught in the same space. For example, technology, foreign language labs, engineering and robotics could all be taught in flexible learning space.

Florida State University Schools (FSUS) Florida State University Schools Arts & Sciences Facility (STEAM) Design Proposal The proposed layout and specifications outlined in this proposal reflect the design of a building that will support the purpose, mission and vision of Florida State University’s premier Developmental Research School. This proposed design also supports the intent, as articulated in the original Florida Statutes, that “each developmental research school shall emphasize mathematics, science, computer science, and foreign languages. ” FSUS has a long history of educational leadership and student success. Our intent is to continue this tradition and expand our impact on research, instructional excellence and innovation.

Florida State University Schools Arts & Sciences Facility (STEAM) Design Proposal Florida State University Schools (FSUS) FSUS seeks to offer flexible learning spaces that are appropriately equipped to teach all STEAM-related courses and provide auditorium space to accommodate performances, celebrations, concerts, community meetings, innovative professional development and conferences.
