Explore the Past, Experience the Present, Imagine the Future

The Little White Schoolhouse is located in Valley, WA, a town with a population of about 1,900 people. The school house has been empty for quite some time and it is the desire of the Valley Historical Society to use the site to create a Heritage Museum for the town. The once one room schoolhouse will be a place for the community and other visitors to come and reminisce on the past, present and future of Valley as well as see a rotating exhibit which features located artists. The lower level will be a community space where events and meetings can be hosted. It was a great experience to work with the community members and create a design that tells their story as they want it to be seen. The workshop taught me how to collaborate with others as well as it revealed the importance of communication and working with the client.
