De Smet Jesuit High School

De Smet Jesuit High School has always offered an excelled curriculum for students to develop skills as young entrepreneurs. The school needed a state-of-the-art interactive space that would simultaneously stress collaboration and incite creativity.

An obsolete library was the perfect fit for the new Innovation Center. M+H designed the renovated library space to mimic modern flexible work environments, capable of supporting quiet one-on-one meetings and 200-person seminars. A global classroom allows De Smet to connect with students from around the world and learn hands-on skills needed in an ever-changing landscape. Moveable partitions and whiteboards allow teachers to create mini classrooms and pop-up maker spaces to complement static dedicated classrooms. Integrating leading-edge technology and flexible furniture systems created a successful atmosphere for all subjects.
