The design of the new Schoolcraft Elementary is a direct response to interactive visioning with the community and district. Areas of importance for the community were varied, and the district used this feedback to develop a series of promises to deliver: an inviting exterior with a dedicated kindergarten playground; a welcome center that honors the past; flexible space for food, friends, and fun; a media center highlighting a new experience of learning; playgrounds harnessing the power of play; a competition gym to serve all Eagles; classroom collaboration ideal for agile and adaptable learners; STEM and art labs providing hands-on learning for all; and a commons space dedicated to collaboration, communication and creativity.

Adjacent to the high school, the 120,000 SF building was designed to blend with farmland and nearby residential developments. The flexible learning environments were distributed in 2-story wings, with lower-level grades on the first floor and upper grades on the second.

Reinforcing collaboration, each classroom wing provides two areas for individualized and group activities. These areas are open, flexible spaces all outfitted with mobile furniture and seamless access to technology systems. Small group meeting rooms are also located between classrooms for staff and student teamwork.
