Amelia Earhart and Gompers Elementary Middle Schools were both built in recent years as part of the Detroit Public Schools Construction and Modernization Program. Each earned the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Silver level award; incorporates the latest technology; and benefits from thoughtful design that takes into account:
• separate areas for JK-Grade5 and the Grades 6-8
• many well-placed windows allowing plenty of natural light
• colourful, exciting structural elements
• integrated Smart Boards
• excellent lighting
Ontario needs to invest in the best education for our children, which includes quality school buildings designed to maximize learning and achievement. Let’s start imagining what our publicly funded schools ought to look like.
