Sited in Redwood City, Calif., adjacent to both San Francisco Bay and Oracle Corp.’s corporate campus, the 64,000-sq-ft aluminum, glass and wood-paneled Design Tech High School project benefited from the input of a trio of primary decision-makers: Oracle, the Oracle Foundation and the charter school itself. However, another set of key influencers also contributed to the school’s unusual delivery: the students themselves.
