The mission of the Noble Schools network of charter schools is to “ensure that all students have equitable and positive high school experiences that equip them to complete college and lead choice-filled lives.”
As part of that mission, school leadership reached out to OKW to provide strategic interventions across their network of schools.
The biggest and most visible project thus far has been the reimagining of Johnson College Prep’s entry.
The transformation from a beige wall to a three-story, glazed portal allows the school to shine to its surrounding community like a beacon. The project also included opening new windows in the gym, relocating the ADA ramp, and creating student lounges on the 2nd and 3rd floors.
Additional projects across Noble’s network ranged from significant (envisioning a new athletic field house) to more modest (a new front entry to a historic building). However, at OKW, there are no small projects — we believe even the smallest adjustment can have an outsized positive impact on a person’s experience.
This dedication to our client and their community of students, parents, and professionals has blossomed into a close and rewarding partnership.
