The Loft schoolhouse project is built on high school campuses for teens grades 9-12. The facility is a gift to Arizona school districts and will be used as added classroom space, for an after-school program, and is available for weekend use as well.
In conjunction with school districts and the appropriate agencies, it's our hope that sustainability goes beyond the structure and continues in the after-school programs.
There are seven designated areas in The Loft schoolhouse.
- The Patio: An outdoor garden with an Eco-Gazebo
- The Bistro: A fully functional kitchen
- The Computer Commons: A computer lab
- The Lounge: A general gathering area
- The Advisors Corner: A designated area for administrators
- The Forum: A traditional library including electronic books and computers
- The Health and Wellness Center: First aid, health, wellness and nutrition
Each area and room in The Loft is sponsored and made possible by community businesses.
