QKA project Cupertino High School was just featured in the San Jose Mercury News.
The Cupertino High School project combines three programmatic elements of the school into one building: the Administration & Guidance Student Services; the school Library and the Food Service and Café area. The Student Union will be a central gathering place that will be used by the whole school population along the lines of a junior college student union, rather than a standard high school with its separated uses. Open to students all day and used by the community during nights and summers, flexibility is a central programmatic theme.
The building embraces the informal, collaborative and technology based learning that is the core of Silicon Valley culture, creates a collegiate atomosphere and will be the social & academic hub for the school.
The ShareFair is a newly conceived community event that will focus on kids, art and sharing. The first ever ShareFair will take the form of a street fair featuring fun kids activities, artist exhibits and special areas with resources for sharing goods, services and ideas to build community. The Fair will also feature great live music, local 5th Street restaurants and a hopping beer garden.
