Vocational School Building

Todays Future

A Pollinator Garden has been planted with flowers that attract and provide nectar or pollen for multiple species of pollinating insects. To offer a stable surface for vehicles, permeable eaves are suggested in front of the Vocational School building's loading dock and storage area. This could be accomplished with either a permeable material that allows stormwater to flow through it or nonporous blocks with gaps in between, which allows water to flow between them.

The Lawn Area

The Two Room Classroom Building has been renovated, and it now serves as a museum and small flexible space that can be used as a classroom most of the time. You can find a historic plaque on the outside of the building to provide information about its significance.

Natures beauty

An ADA ramp is added to provide accessibility to the building. A path from the upper parking lot connects the parking lot to the Two Room Classroom Building. The lawn area can be used for educational and social events. The Vocational School Building can be seen to the right.

Artwork and RIch History to illustrate

Paintings and photographs of the Campbell County Training School Complex and founders of Rosenwald Schools are displayed to illustrate the rich history of the space. This design strives to breathe new life into the building with respect to its existing architecture and warm colors. The experience of this concept includes more modern style furniture and equipment complemented by light colors-shades of white and blue.

Hiding Gems

The back portion of the Vocational School Building contains a new, small classroom, which is located within the vocational space just behind the office area, and an open space that is left as a shell for future vocational space. The classroom space can hold approximately four students and one instructor. Masonry work, including brick and concrete block work from former CCTSC students, is retained and incorporated into the design of the classroom. New walls are faced with horizontal shiplap to match the historic shiplap in the front office space and is also added to the ceiling. Wooden flooring similar to the historic flooring in the office space is also added. The classroom contains a large screen and a projector mounted on the ceiling.
