The atrium commons acts as a central heart, unifying the four PLCs, and providing core learning space for multiple learning modalities. Math, reading, language, social studies, peer-to-peer, group, and independent learning can all occur in this flexible space. Like a theatre or stage for learning, the atrium commons can be rearranged to accommodate all school meetings, performances and films. The community can also make good use of this space in the evenings and weekends, as well as the gym and nutrition room.
