The new construction will provide critical updates to Kerr, and will include several innovative features. Centrally located in the new building will be a collaboratory space that includes a large, central area where students will gather to work on projects, conduct research, collaborate, and plan. There will be a makerspace, a SMALLab learning space, and a computer science robotics lab, in addition to a “traditional” library. The new Kerr will include space for a language immersion program in which classes will be taught in both English and Spanish and will be open to students across the district. There will also be space for a prekindergarten classroom, along with the Creativity and Literacy Program.
