LIBRARY
Little One’s Library is one of the larger spaces in the facility. This was an intentional design for classes to come together to collaborate and implemented for arrivals and dismissals. To manage the sound within the space effectively, the cloudlike forms are made out of fiberglass. Applied materials include low VOCs, acoustical, and materials that mimic the look and feel of nature such as a biophilic green wall. The oak wood flooring left the space feeling warm and natural.

Libraries are places where students can decompress and dive into the world of knowledge. It is great when these spaces are filled with natural lighting, large and open spaces, to juxtapose the feeling of a classroom. Learning nooks were
