IDEAs for the Future: The Campaign for Currey Ingram

Currey Ingram Academy is embarking on a transformative journey with the launch of IDEAs for the Future: The Campaign for Currey Ingram Academy.

This bold venture is dedicated to constructing a cutting-edge Innovation, Design, Exploration, and Application (IDEA) Center. This isn’t just a campaign; it’s a declaration of the school’s commitment to revolutionize education. Imagine a space where innovation knows no bounds, where creativity intertwines seamlessly with technology, and where every student’s potential is unleashed. The IDEA Center is not merely a building—it’s a catalyst for greatness.

Construction will begin in late 2024.

 
The IDEA Center will feature two large Learning Hubs, one for students grades PK-6 and the other for students grades 7-12.  Each learning hub will be anchored by a circular classroom intentionally designed to promote collaboration and facilitate problem-based learning experiences. Surrounding each collaborative classroom will be a developmentally appropriate:
• Design Lab
• MakerSpace
• Robotics Lab
• Artificial Intelligence/Virtual Reality space 
There will be a designated Audio-Visual space adjacent to the 7-12 Division Hub. This space will be primarily used by students in Cinematography, Broadcasting, and Performing Arts classes and clubs, but also available to all students via class projects, after school activities, and summer programming.  The Audio-Visual space brings the amenities of a Nashville recording studio to campus and will include a video production room, studio live room, control facility, and sound isolation rooms.

    • IDEA Center - First Floor
