CLASSROOM IDENTIFIES
Located at the entrance to each classroom is a panel featuring a unique illustration that ties into a theme associated with that grade level. For example, 1st grade panels depict various types of animals, while 3rd grade panels showcase forms of transportation. This educational layer creates an interesting form of wayfinding.
