Kingscott Associates presented a check for $53,000 to Gull Lake Community Schools at their September Board Meeting. As Architects and Engineers for the new Gull Lake High School, Kingscott qualified for the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) tax credits.

Kingscott’s sustainable design of the building’s envelope and mechanical and lighting systems exceeds code minimum efficiencies by more than 50%. The school district and the community made efficient, economical design a priority, and Kingscott wanted to share with them the benefit of implementing an energy-saving design.

In January 2011 Kingscott’s Kalamazoo lobby gallery will feature a display on inquiry-based instructional spaces. The display grew out of the explorations invited by ASC and VS America (an educational furniture designer and manufacturer).

The group’s goal was to explore a practical approach to inquiry-based learning spaces such as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) facilities. The methodology will help school districts understand and implement these new and exciting learning spaces. The team has documented their planning ideas and shared them in a publication, Insights 2.

Th display coincides with the Michigan Association of School Administrators conference held in Kalamazoo. The display will run during January 2011. Educators, students, and the public are welcome to drop in during regular business hours or contact Kingscott at 269.381.4880 to schedule a tour.
