Architect's render: PIRL interior. As we enter our new school year, I am starting my third session of Creator's Studio. I am excited about the semester and what projects the students will take on. This semester is slightly different than previous ones in that I have a larger group, with six returning students, now in 8th grade. I am curious to see the classroom dynamic of having experienced creators blended in with newbies. I've already had a hint of some positive effects in my first class session, where returning students gave their insight into project design, the iterative process, time management, and the importance of learning patience.
We start the year without the new PIRL space ready. It is in development, and well on its way, so in the meantime we are making due with another classroom. Here are some pics of progress in PIRL, as well as some additional renders.

- The first row of photos shows the outdoor learning space getting new concrete and teaching wall.
- The second row shows the interior back wall storage cubbies.
- The third row shows from left to right; indoor teaching wall, flooring options, electrical pull-downs, and sound recording studios.
The exterior learning space will have a retractable awning, as seen in these renders below. A roll-up garage door will bridge the indoor and outdoor spaces.
The interior learning space will include rollable, fold & nest tables, for quick reconfiguration and flexibility.
We expect the interior to be complete by October, while the exterior may take a bit longer. I will be sure to post updates throughout the semester.
