West Irondequoit Central School District Master Facilities Plan

Vaysen Studio facilitated an educational environment strategy study bridge between the educational vision of the district and the educational facilities. To do so, we utilized a multi-phase approach with subsequent phases being determined by Phase 1 as well as by the planning for Capital Improvement Projects. Assessing existing conditions, educational delivery models, grade distributions, curriculum vision and educational goals, this project worked to translate aspirations into tangible and lasting yet adaptable solutions with an implementation plan to enhance all learning environments and the learning experience across the entire district.

Master Plan Process

Throughout the collaboration between the District, their architect, and Vaysen Studio, multiple factors were considered to ensure holistic interventions resulted in meaningful, lasting impacts for the students, educators, and greater community. Some of the factors included: Learning Environment Planning, Architecture & Design, Building Advocacy, and Stakeholder Engagement.

Using the strategic plan as the basis of the study, and layering the previously mentioned factors, key initiatives were articulated to begin the process of identifying effective interventions to better align the facilities to the District’s educational goals
