Early Excellence Academy
The feelings of a child experiencing each moment of life are robust and alive. It is this essence of whimsy and the joy of learning that is captured in the design of the new Early Excellence Academy, a learning environment to serve the earliest learners of Tomball ISD. DLR Group’s design is rooted in biophilic elements that evoke curiosity and connection to the natural world. With a design concept centered on scale and growth, an immersive experience takes the learner through the space. Careful consideration to create a physical environment that engages the user in their surroundings affords the learner and educator the opportunity to use the school as a tool for learning. This innovative environment inspires wonder and discovery through an educational journey that is founded in creative imagining. Research-based design strategies incorporated into each learning pod support the specific needs of early childhood learners.
