Modernized Libraries
The new Whitefish Bay Middle School and High School libraries are colorful and accessible environments that supplement classroom learning. We transformed the existing, traditional libraries into vibrant and flexible spaces that allow for movement and collaboration. Sliding glass doors provide separation between collaboration and quiet areas, while still allowing staff to supervise students from the centrally located circulation desk.
Amenities like a discovery room in the middle school library allows for direct connection to the flexible collaboration zone and an innovation station provides students access to high-powered computer and other technology. Interior finishes were thoughtfully selected to bring energy and excitement to the environment while drawing from a sophisticated color palette.
