Scope Of Work
Triad incorporated popular cartoon characters into the "Westervillage", an interactive exploration area that mimics Uptown Westerville. Particular attention was paid to color and texture, as both are shown to have the power to engage students.
The building also houses the district's administrative offices. Bringing together departments that had been spread throughout multiple buildings broke down barriers between offices, and brought a sense of community to district staff who previously may not have interacted.
The Westervillage slide actually starts in the offices, which serves two purposes; a chance for students to play, and for staff to join in the fun!
