Fallbrook Phillip H Middle School and YMCA
Lincoln, NE
The final design of the new LPS Phillip H. Schoo Middle School and Fallbrook YMCA is the result of the cooperative effort of Lincoln Public Schools, the YMCA of Lincoln and the City of Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department to co-locate the two facilities and a future neighborhood park on a 31.2 acre site in the Fallbrook Development.
Key elements of the project design include:
•Supporting the middle school philosophy of organizing a large school into small interdisciplinary teams of students and teachers.
•Creating an open, active and vibrant environment for the YMCA.
•Maximizing the programmed sharing of the building facility including gymnasiums, exercise studios, locker rooms, Health classrooms, Family and Consumer Science labs, Art studios and central mechanical and electrical infrastructures.
•Maximizing the programmed sharing of the site features including playing fields, walking paths and parking.
•Maintaining a secure separation between the Middle School and YMCA that adjusts depending on the time of day, week or year to accommodate the programming of shared space.
•Stepping the facility to work with the 50 feet of elevation change across the site.
•Developing both the building exterior and site design characters to integrate with the context of the Fallbrook development.
•Developing an efficient and operational Structural, Mechanical and Electrical infrastructure.
