Flexible Design for Functional Learning Environments

Shaped by a vision of meaningful connection and academic exploration, this next-generation middle school fosters identity, curiosity, and collaboration at every turn. Built for Alpine School District in the rapidly growing community of Lehi, the school follows the district’s middle school prototype while introducing enhancements that support interdisciplinary learning, flexible teaming, and student engagement across all academic levels.

Organized along a central “Main Street” corridor, the floor plan divides the building into five smaller learning academies that create a sense of scale and belonging within the larger 1,500-student population. Three academies support core academics, while the remaining two house Family & Consumer Science, Business, Technology, and Visual Arts programs. This school-within-a-school concept enables more intimate learning communities and dynamic cross-disciplinary experiences — laying a strong foundation for collaboration, exploration, and long-term student success.
