Johnson Elementary School

Johnson Elementary School is Forney ISD’s 10th elementary school campus. It utilizes a highly successful prototype design that reinforces the district’s vision of flexible, efficient and innovative learning environments. The exterior maintains a traditional aesthetic and complements the surrounding residential community.
Inside, the learning commons serves as “The Hub” for the school—it’s a space that is scaled across all campuses within the district to create multi-purpose, dynamic learning environments for students. The commons features flex labs, a maker space, flexible furniture and areas for collaboration.
Classroom pods each feature a central collaboration space, with brightly colored insets, furniture and design elements that aid wayfinding. The second level houses an outdoor patio to promote outdoor learning activities and offer more connection to natural surroundings. The gym doubles as a storm shelter.
