Shale Meadows Elementary School
Shale Meadows updates Olentangy Local Schools’ elementary school prototype for the 21st century.
For decades, Fanning Howey has helped Olentangy Schools manage district wide expansion through building prototypes that provide consistent resources for all students. Shale Meadows Elementary School updates the district’s existing prototype to meet the needs of project-based learning. The modified design includes additional classrooms and small group areas, a reimagined media center and reorganized administrative space with a secure entry vestibule. The design also provides dedicated SLC classrooms with internal restrooms and tutor spaces.
Shale Meadows sparked a refresh of Olentangy’s remaining 15 elementary schools, with Fanning Howey designing upgrades to media centers, playgrounds and secure entries at each campus.
