This proposed aviation high school for 400 students is designed around the concept of Small Learning Communities (SLC). Students are grouped into academies that plug into the hangar - the main social space of the school. This fosters a sense of community that encourages learning through small class sizes and hands-on project work. As a job captain for A4E, Mr. Endriga supervised the design and construction documentation which included specifications, research into funding sources, and coordinated with the Division of the State Architect.
