Rogers International Magnet Media Center
Stamford, CT // Completed: 2005
Made possible by a grant organized by the School PTA, this Magnet school was able to afford a completely redesigned and reconfigured Media Center. Besides ample book and media storage, this media center now features a new entrance, custom display cases for school project exhibitions, a readers cove, a story telling area with stepped seating, an integrated circulation desk, a custom designed aquarium, additional class rooms and a computer lab, which is mostly used for teaching languages and seats 24 students.
Partners For Architecture succeeded in staying within the original grant budget, despite the many custom features integrated into this design.
