Freytag & Associates, Inc. designed a new 101,636 s.f. building to accommodate grades six, seven and eight for Fostoria City Schools.

Teaching “pods” of four classrooms with two shared project/resource areas between classrooms were developed for team teaching. Center classrooms are divided by folding/movable walls allowing for the creation of a large class space within the teaching “pod” providing flexibility for the future and incorporates immediate computer/telecommunications/telemedia systems.

Specialized curriculum areas include four science rooms, art lab, two computer labs and media center which are located within a central core serving the perimeter teaching pods. Community and extra curricular activities - gymnasium, student commons, multi-purpose room, band and choral are in a separate wing and can be secured from the classroom wings.
