Located in Van Nuys, CA, the Children’s Community School teaches a progressive curriculum from Kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is dedicated to expanding student’s critical thinking skills in a collaborative environment. Our design of the library and arts classroom provided needed flexibility for the students. A partition wall becomes several doorways through the use of pivoting panels, allowing for individual or group teaching. The pivoting panels provide a combination of presentation types, with magnetic, chalk and pin-up boards configured on the rotating sides. Above the doorways a clerestory window allows light to pass freely between the spaces. The library was further refined with shelving allowing for new hubs of interaction, and the use of lighting to define areas of group study.
