Welcome to Stonecreek Elementary! The school has been educating students for many years and this past year, it was decided that Stonecreek was in need of remodeling. The entire staff was excited for new 21st century classrooms, libraries and a computer lab. One part of the remodel went wrong and left people unsatisfied. The administrative end of the remodel didn't ask the stakeholders what they wanted to see in their newly remodeled rooms. For this reason, the computer lab is in need of another remodel to fix the issues that still remain.

In this design proposal, the computer lab will go through another process of being redesigned but this time the stakeholders will be involved. The proposal will show what came out of a short needs assessment, the design concept and floor plan that resulted from the assessment; and finally the experts' design rationale for the remodel as well as how it will be evaluated for effectiveness. The results of the proposal will drive the design of a new Stonecreek computer lab that will leave all stakeholders satisfied.
