The presentation highlighted a thoughtful, modern approach to learning spaces—designed with both students and the Durango community in mind.
Plans include bright, flexible classrooms that support collaboration and hands-on learning, along with spaces that connect directly to the outdoors.
A central gathering area—often described as the “heart of the school”—will create opportunities for students to come together, build relationships, and showcase their learning. Outdoor play and learning areas are also designed to reflect the natural landscape of the Three Springs neighborhood.
This new school is made possible by the 2024 Investing in Our Schools Bond, approved by La Plata County voters. Community support is what’s bringing this vision to life—an investment in future generations of Durango students.
While the school is scheduled to open in 2028, this early look offers a glimpse into the learning environments being thoughtfully designed today for tomorrow’s students.
