Calyx Kwasnicki Capstone 2025

My Capstone is an Improvement plan for the building that is based upon architectural precedent and student opinions. In my capstone I outline problems with the school building and how I would solve them, other improvements, and what I believe would be the best course of action for the school to take in the future to improve the lives of students.

The first step in this process was to research what the school district has done in the past in order to improve the district’s buildings and what they have done recently.

The next was to attempt to find a building like SLA/Ben Franklin but there are not many like this and so I had to look into non-school buildings for ideas and found my inspiration in Europe instead with an airport of all things.

Then once I found my precedent I went into identifying problems and finding solutions.
