      —Frank Kelly

      For Sarah and Joel (my daughter and son). Your fresh perspective on life and learning has continually challenged my thinking. You would thrive in the schools without classrooms that we describe in this book.

      —Ted McCain

       ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      We are grateful to a team of creative individuals at Stantec who supported Frank’s time, provided travel expenses, and helped generate the graphics that contribute to explaining the concepts we explore in this book. Given the challenge of gathering information from diverse districts and getting it into a common format, it was a big, well-done job over many months with lots of changes. We would also like to thank the following.

      • Liz Katz is an architect with a passion for education and a graduate of the Westside High School in Omaha, Nebraska. She had a major role in creating the plan diagrams for transforming existing high schools.

      • Luis Ayala is an architect and skilled designer in both the United States and his native Paraguay. He has both practiced and taught and is an avid architectural photographer.

      • As our manuscript and graphics progressed, we had the support of two architectural students: Will Crothers, a graduate student at Rice University, and Edgar Saucedo, who completed his studies at the University of Houston. Their expertise and perspectives were very helpful.

      • With the major role our book prescribes for digital technology, Ramy Hanna’s expertise in visualizing and animating our architectural concepts was an excellent resource. He made us mindful of the amazing things we can do to create a more engaging school environment for students and teachers.

      • Lori Clifton and Kimberly Bow did amazing things with InDesign, helping us turn a huge collection of separate files into a plan for one cohesive book.

      • An old friend and distinguished author and speaker, Ian Jukes, joined with Frank and Ted for some long weekends at the Best Western Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada, to explore many of the ideas we delineate in this book. We are grateful for his friendship and the lively conversations.
