Oasis Storage System
Storage System
OVERVIEW
How might we create a storage plan for O.S.F. that fits into the students workflow, and can adapt to the an ever changing classroom?
Oasis Skateboard Factory (O.S.F.) is an alternative highschool in the TDSB focused on providing students entrepreneurship experience through independent learning. The O.S.F. classroom sits inside the Scadding Court Community Centre with roughly 480sqft of space, including two storage rooms. Over the 14 years they've run, O.S.F. has accumulated a lot, i.e. archival student work, old tools, and are running out of space to operate.
PRODUCT
We left O.S.F. with an implementation plan to approach decluttering the classroom together in phases. The plan includes custom furniture plans, decision trees and plans for the storage rooms.
Our implementation plan is designed to be used by both the teachers and students. It includes a step by step guide on building the shelving, cost breakdowns. It also includes a decision tree
We worked with the students to create custom furniture that can change as they need. We prioritized modularity so students can put the tools most needed on the peg board and swap them out with tools on the shelf as their needs change.The implementation document also includes instructions on how the measurements can be changed to suit their needs. These shelves are also designed to teach students the basics of wood working and assembly like making pilotholes. The implementation plan also includes cost breakdowns and parts needed.
Clutter in the classroom has accumulated throughout the years. During our tour we noticed most students were discovering equipment in the classoom at the same time we were because the school had recieved it and stopped using it before they came and never got the chance to use it. The students reaction showed us that the projects change so much that many of the tools can go unused for years but it's kept on the offchange they need it again. We also noticed that the teachers had so many other responsibilities, they were unable to do the extensive labour clearing the classroom. We noticed that the largest part of the labour was deciding what the classroom still needs. A team member designed this guide to help them make decisions.
