Westgroup Designs provided multiple solutions to modernize the Live Oak Elementary School campus, creating a vibrant, student-centered environment that supports exploration, learning, and safety.
Focused on both function and experience, the modernization introduced comprehensive exterior and interior improvements that elevate the day-to-day experience for students, staff, and visitors.
Exterior enhancements included a redesigned front drop-off area with a bold new entry portal, updated marquee signage, and a tiered student waiting zone. Campus usability and comfort were improved through the addition of new shade structures at both the outdoor dining area and the existing playground. A decorative privacy and security screen, upgraded fencing, and controlled-access entry points enhanced campus safety. Sustainable landscaping and drainage improvements were integrated throughout the site, including revitalized plantings in the central courtyard.
Interior upgrades focused on accessibility, flexibility, and functionality. These included an ADA-compliant reception desk, reconfigured office layouts, improved staff restrooms, and a reimagined backstage area connecting the MPR to the outdoor dining space. Classrooms were refreshed with new finishes and additional storage, while campus-wide door security and ADA hardware were added to meet modern standards.
The transformation of Live Oak Elementary reflects WDs’ commitment to delivering safe, inspiring, and future-ready educational environments that empower students and support evolving teaching methodologies.
