Reusing the old Monroe Elementary School campus as a stage for establishing a creative & educational district

This thesis highlights how a former elementary school could go from a design project, Monroe Creative Campus, to establishing a Creative & Educational District. Using three different ideas of districts from across the U.S. as a starting point and then incorporating an artist-in-residence program into the newly created district could potentially lead to arts and film festivals, an expansion of the district, a trail, tiny houses, and a museum hotel. The success of the Creative & Educational District in Monroe could lead to that particular district concept being used in other communities.
