INTRODUCTION
In 2015, Georgetown ISD passed a bond that included $26.1 million dollars for renovations and additions to Tippit Middle School. This
construction project is intended to bring the 1980 campus as close as possible to the district’s most recent projects, most notably Middle
School #4. In their approach to designing new educational facilities, Georgetown ISD and Huckabee acknowledge that the traditionally
designed school is not adequate to facilitate the educational model needed to prepare GISD students for the future. Both parties have
worked together during the planning process to define the curriculum requirements and spatial relationships that would facilitate a new
model of educational delivery. The goal is to design schools that will prepare students for the work environment of today while being
flexible enough to respond to future environments that have not yet been imagined.
The following is an excerpt from the Schematic Design Booklet provided to Georgetown ISD for Middle School #4:
To begin the design process, Huckabee teamed with a design committee of approximately 15 district staff and community members. From
March through June of 2015, the team met on several items to discuss the curriculum to be taught and the manner in which it is to be
delivered to the students. The underlying theme that developed from these conversations was one of flexibility. In an effort to reflect the
multifaceted environments that students will likely come to work in, educational facilities of today must provide spaces that can transform
from one scenario of learning to another. They must allow students to work independently of one another at certain times while being
always capable of transforming into larger collaborative environments. They must allow for the teachers to serve in the role of educator in
one period and the role of facilitator in the next. They must allow teachers and administrative staff to design and redesign the educational
experience on a daily basis.

With the theme of flexibility in mind, the design committee met at Huckabee’s office at the Baylor Research and Innovation Collaborative
in Waco for a two-day planning and design charrette. The purpose of the charrette was to allow the team to be active participants in the
development of both the site and building design. The charrettes also demanded that each member think critically about the current
methods of instructional delivery, how the facilities impact that delivery, and the opportunities for implementing new methods and ideas.
The design committee separated into two groups for the charrette. Discussions regarding site design focused on where the building,
parking and athletic facilities should be located with relation to the neighboring Mitchel Elementary School, the existing site’s topography,
prominent views, solar paths and prevailing winds. The second group discussed the functions and qualities of the learning spaces, how
one learning space behaves in relation to the others, and how the arrangement of spaces allows teachers to interact with students and
with one another. On the heels of the BRIC charrette, Huckabee began conceptual designs for the Middle School, incorporating the many
adjacencies and spatial relationships discussed among the design committee members.
While conceptual designs were being prepared for Middle School #4 in June of 2015, conceptual level drawings for Tippit were underway
in order to develop an estimated cost for the work required to provide as much equity as possible between the two campuses. While it
was acknowledged that some of the same design elements incorporated into the new Middle School might not be possible at Tippit, the
design was to proceed with the same fundamental understanding of how an educational facility should function. The conceptual design
for Tippit Middle School was approved on December 17, 2015, and the Schematic Design here in is now provided to Georgetown ISD
for approval.

SITE DEVELOPMENT
Another of Georgetown ISD’s goals for the new Tippit design was to provide a strong street presence. The existing main entrance to the
school is largely unidentifiable from Leander Road, and the existing Cafeteria building blocks the view of the educational wings. The most
notable building element upon approach to the existing campus is the north façade of the band hall building which lacks any glazing or
architectural articulation. The current site plan also lacks adequate parking for teachers, staff and parents, and the parent drop-off que
often backs up onto Leander road.
The new design will include demolition of the Cafeteria and Band Hall buildings. By utilizing the existing parking lot entrance and the
existing curb-cut currently used for cafeteria deliveries, main parking lot off Leander Road will be enlarged and the parent drop-off lane
will be lengthened. The current Band Hall Building will also be demolished and replaced by a new two story main entrance that will
centrally located on the campus.

Tippit Middle School is also located just north and on the same site as Pickett Elementary School. The two facilities share a bus lane that
drops students off between the two. The location of the bus drop-off will remain relatively unchanged.
In order to meet the city’s zoning requirements additional parking spaces were required. The design intent was to locate as much of this
additional parking near the elements of the campus that would serve staff and guests the most. A new, larger main parking lot located
off Leander road will serve staff and visitors entering the main entrance of the school as well as a new entrance serving both Gymnasium
and Fine Arts wings. This main entry will also contain new and longer parent drop-off isles. A new staff parking lot will be located east of
the school providing easy access to rear entrances of the educational wings and cafeteria. A large parking lot will also be located at the
northwest corner of the site to serve athletic events at both the Football Stadium and Tennis Courts.
The site is also designed to provide drainage upgrades as dictated by the city’s site development requirements. A new detention pond
is located at the northwest and south east corners of the property.

BUILDING DESIGN
While the current student population at Tippit is near 850, the facility will be designed for 1000 students. Existing buildings are
positioned on the property with the parking lot and main entrance to the north and Athletic fields to the west. The campus is comprised
of five buildings; the Cafeteria, a Core Educational Building, a CATE Building, the Band Hall and Gymnasium. These five buildings are
connected by an outdoor, unfenced covered corridor. In addition to upgrading the educational environment and street presence, the
district also requested that Huckabee design the campus to be safe and secure by today’s standards.
In addition to the Cafeteria and Band Hall previously mentioned, the existing CATE building will be demolished, along with smaller
portable buildings found on campus. Between the remaining Core Educational Building and the Gymnasium will be a centrally located
two story element comprised of administrative spaces and main entrance on the first floor and second level library. The library will be
provided with ample natural light and views to the north. Directly south of the administration spaces is the new Cafetorium that will serve
as the campus commons where it can also be utilized as an alternative, more public space for education. Between these two larger
elements a new enclosed east-west corridor will connect each of the larger programmatic elements of the campus. A set of learning
stairs leading from the main corridor to the library and looking out upon the dining area and stage provides another alternative area for
either private or group learning.

The new Fine Arts facilities, including, Choir, Band and Orchestra rooms will be located east of the main entrance and north of the existing
Gymnasium. A new entrance for these spaces is provided and accessed from the new main parking lot.
The existing core educational building will be renovated to contain the same three educational houses of STEM, Humanities, and 6TH
Grade that were incorporated at Middle School #4. Existing lockers will be removed, in effect widening the corridors. Corridor walls will
also be provided with interior storefront windows looking into classrooms and providing the same open aesthetic that was achieved at
Middle School #4. New student collaboration areas with movable walls will allow for both small and large group activities. Moveable
walls will also be incorporated between various classrooms to allow for a more flexible learning environment. Furniture throughout the
classrooms is also intended to be moveable, allowing students and teachers to choose arrangements that best fit the curriculum of
the day.
Spaces are also required to allow teachers and administrative staff to work with each other throughout the day to effectively design
an ever-fluctuating educational schedule. As result, a large design room has been located near the entrance of each of the three
houses. The concept of staff collaboration is also integrated into the administration suite located at the center of the lower level. A large
collaboration room will overlook the commons area where not only will staff be able to observe students, but students will be able to
observe staff practicing the type of collaborative learning they teach.
