Part 3: Acting on Plan and Follow Up
6. Address Special Needs
Panel of 10 Faculty Members: Needed a collaborative
workspace that was able to be comfortable and converted
into a meeting space
Survey of Teachers: Survey of Eastview faculty and
staff, data collected indicated that they wanted
convenience and beverage options for lunch
How we made our decision: We talked to our Interior
Design teacher about taking leadership of the actual
renovation of the room
7. Target Audience
Eastview High School Faculty and Staff: To
eat lunch, participate in recreational activities
and hold small group staff meetings
Eastview Students: A place for students to
come and work on homework or get help from
teachers
Extra-Curricular Groups: Using the room as
a place to meet for special groups and after
school meetings
8. Goal/Mission
To make the EVHS staff dining lounge
an inviting place that could be used by
staff, students and extra-curricular
clubs for collaborative working and
learning. Our rationale is that by
helping our teachers we would overall
benefit the school as a whole.
9. Reflects FCCLA Purposes
To promote greater understanding between youth and
adults – we worked with adults to complete the task
To provide opportunities for making decisions and for
assuming responsibilities – we took it upon ourselves to
decide the options for further renovation of the room
To promote Family and Consumer Sciences and related
occupations – interior design is not only an occupation
but a series of classes at many schools
10. Relates to FACS
Interior Design:
• Using the elements and principles of
design, to create a welcoming but functional
atmosphere
• Being able to participate in a real world
design project that parallels what the career
of an interior designer entails.
Budgeting, design process, client
12. Scope
Steps: The initial teacher panel, the interior
design class team board project, the design
panel, the first stage of renovation, the Eastview
daily show, and finally the design process
Barriers resolved: Staying within
budget, finding an adequate amount of time and
the pulling together of our resources for the
renovation
13. Project Organization
Alternative action: Having the Interior
Design students be more involved
Consequences: Students didn’t have as
much power to know what was needed
because they didn’t have as much access
Challenges addressed: Budget; we added a
lot “DIY” designs because a lot of the staff
liked them
14. Partners
SuperValu: We used this
corporation as an inspiration into
the type of designs taken which
were “collaborative workspaces”
Eastview Community
Foundation: We were able to
purchase products for the room
from a grant that we received
Interior Design Classes
EVHS Faculty and Families
15. Work Plan
• Interior design students were to get into teams and
present designs based on a budget of $2,500 and the
client needs/wants
• Panel gets together to choose different designs from each
board that the groups created to agree upon a final design
plan that would be used in the room
• Group of volunteers incorporate the designs into the
room throughout a weekend that was set for renovations
• Using the rest of the budget of $500, we put finishing
touches to the room including wall art and lighting

17. Activities, Tasks and Roles

and arrange it, put up the TV and put the
bulletin board on the wall
• Roles: Ms. Hanson (Facilitator) Ms.
Hendrickson (FCCLA Advisor and FACS
teacher)
18. Budget
• Grant received from the Eastview
Community Foundation of $2,500
• This was put into new side tables, lounge
chairs, LCD flat screen (donation), bulletin
board, a bookshelf and wall decor (paint)
• There was $500 left with the budget
• We bought a Keurig machine, wall pictures
and bookshelf accessories with it
19. Increase Awareness/ Public Recruitment
Our media outreach is our school’s daily
announcments called the Flash and newspaper. It
would show what our project was and how we did
it. They also did a time lapse of the actual process
PR for Interior Design classes to encourage it as a
course through a real-life example
FCCLA encourages cooperation between parties
and that is exactly how we accomplished this
project
21. Project Impact
Our evidence of project impact was surveys after the fact
to gather data and personal opinion of our target
audience
22. Youth Involved and Volunteer
Recruitment
• Eastview Interior Design classes participated
in the design idea/creation of the project
• During the renovation many faculty
members, staff and community members
came and volunteered their time
• Eastview FCCLA members also volunteered
in the putting together of
furniture, painting, and other activities
23. Uniqueness
• It was a unique project in that we
collaborated with a variety of resources and
were able to have the opportunity to create a
space that would benefit our entire school.
• It was a chance to combine our FACS class
knowledge and FCCLA purposes into a real
world project that benefited our school.
24. Evaluation and Follow up
• The dining area was found to be less accessible by teachers at lunch
time and concluded that the room would be better fitted for staff
and student meetings by the surveys we created and the interview
with Mrs. Hanson, the facilitator of the project
• Our future efforts include non-stop improvements that will take
place throughout the rest of this year and next
• We truly appreciate the help of our Interior Design teacher, Mrs.
Hendrickson for the support and help and also Mrs. Hanson for
trusting us to create a well designed workspace that would be used
for many years to come
