Community Hub
Is there a space to support the needs of the school community & neighbors? Can the space support programs & community partners that provide families with additional support?

The Community Welcome Center serves as a multi-purpose space to support the needs of the specific community surrounding each campus. This could include social gathering place for large, medium, or small groups of community members, visitors, educators, and/or learners. Or, it could provide individual work space and one-on-one meeting areas for local non-profit and support services. The space should be open and inviting by offering areas with comfortable, informal seating, and access to abundant natural light.
Does the Community Hub have areas to support programs by outside community partners such as workshops or health services? Does it have space for resources they might need such as Wi-Fi and technology? Does it have space for families to connect with each other or do volunteer work?
Is space provided for student work to be displayed?
Is there a place with soft seating to sit inside near the entrance with access to beverages and reading materials?
Are there resources and a digital screen to communicate information with the families?

Integrate the Community Hub within the main entry sequence of the building, providing access through the Secure Vestibule with visual connection to the main Administrative reception area.

The space should be accessible after hours and be able to function independently with an exterior access point and lockable access to the rest of the building. Assure family restrooms are immediately accessible from the Community Hub.
