Case Study

Vega Collegiate academy

Felt Right was proud to partner with Vega Collegiate Academy, a Colorado-based charter school with a focus on creating academic opportunities for students with a wide range of economic backgrounds. Our collaboration was based on a renovation and re-purposing of an existing building to serve as a new home for the school, by creating a dynamic environment which utilized high-performing materials that helped with organization, acoustics, and the elegant display of student work.

Research:
  • Client interviews: survey the users of the space in order to gather individual insights
  • Budget: take measurements, calculate budgetary limits
  • Code analysis: determine if our fire rating, NRC, etc. are suitable for the project
Design Development:
  • Adjacency matrices: sketch out a matrix that details the relationship between rooms to make a case for which rooms/shared walls require sound-absorption
  • Criteria matrices: can combine with adjacency matrix to document specific needs or characteristics of each room (see example below)
