KG+D and BGA collaborated with Nyack Union Free School District to renovate and redesign their libraries into Next Generation Global Learning Commons.
The goal of the Nyack Middle School project was to create a central hub that could be utilized for research, production, professional and curriculum development, and school community functions by creating a suite of flexible, open, and inviting spaces. It is truly a next generation learning environment.
Ardsley High School Library Gets a Transformation
Barile Gallagher & Associates and Fuller & D’Angelo Architects were selected by the Ardsley School District in Westchester County, N.Y., for district-wide learning and infrastructure improvements. One of the projects was to transform Ardsley’s traditional high school library into a space that would be multifunctional, interactive and state of the art.
The team designed a Libramedia center within the parameters of an existing structure. By using elements such as glass wall meeting rooms, flexible furniture, reading lounges and robust wireless technology, the design creates spaces that are transparent, bright, inviting, comfortable, transitional and experiential. Indirect lighting enhances the skylight atrium area, vibrant carpeting patterns and seating colors against a relatively neutral background results in a dynamically engaging space in which students collaborate and learn. State of the art HVAC systems ensure the spaces are temperature controlled and well-ventilated keeping students and staff alert and comfortable.
