North Ridgeville Visual Preference Exercise

Hosted at the North Ridgeville Academic Center, teachers, students, and community members participated in a Visual Preference Exercise to help determine the design aesthetics for the exterior of the new North Ridgeville High School. The continued participation of local community members is vital to the success of the design process.

North Ridgeville Visual Preference Exercise

The new North Ridgeville High School project took a significant step forward with a dynamic community engagement on April 10. ThenDesign Architecture hosted the pivotal “Meet the Architect” event at the North Ridgeville Academic Center, drawing a crowd of over seventy residents. This event provided a platform for the community to hear an update on the construction project, meet the design team, and ask questions. Importantly, it also allowed residents to voice their preferences for the school’s exterior, underscoring their role in shaping the project.

Central to the evening was the Visual Preference Exercise, a key tool in the decision-making process. This development technique is designed to gather valuable community input on physical design alternatives, ensuring that the preferences of the North Ridgeville community are considered during the design process.

Important Community Feedback

Several boards were staged with options for attendees to choose which aesthetic style best fits North Ridgeville. By placing green stickers to designate their visual preference, participants informed the design team which side-by-side options were most appealing. They could then add details regarding why they chose this option.

TDA Project Architect Claire Bank values this critical feedback from teachers, students, and residents. The information influences the development of architectural decisions. Working closely with Superintendent Roxann Ramsey-Caserio and the school district, TDA designers will continue to advance the look and feel of the new North Ridgeville High School based on the opinions of the local community.
