Stillwater Public Schools wanted to replace its Will Rogers Elementary with more than a new building. The district sought a true community school that would bring students, teachers, families and the Stillwater community together, even after the school bell rang.

Selser Schaefer Architects teamed with Ross Barney Architects and began gathering a broad base of insights from the school community. 

The process of creating program requirements and design concepts involved every instructor, administrator and staff member. Every space in the building is honed to work as perfectly as possible – right down to where the teacher sits in each classroom. 

But what makes Will Rogers Elementary a resource for the community is its many gathering spaces. In addition to its classrooms, cafeteria and student commons area, the school will offer a community activity center, multipurpose gymnasium, outdoor instruction gardens and sports fields -– all designed to draw people together and bring a sense of belonging to the surrounding area.

Planned completion:  Spring 2013
