This presentation discusses the design of Travis 6th Grade Campus in Amarillo, Texas. The campus was designed with five key drivers in mind: small learning communities, a central student commons, outdoor learning spaces, separation of academic and common spaces, and visual supervision. It highlights feedback from students who say the small communities make them feel safe and confident. The presentation concludes by noting the campus aims to give students a great first experience in secondary school to develop a love for learning and be successful.
