Work Completed at ARO
In support of ECFS’s mission of ethical learning, academic excellence, and progressive education, the building’s new open, spacious interior provides greater access to books, information and technology to enable multiple modes of teaching and learning. A transformed interior layout, alongside new technology infrastructure, environmental systems, and lighting enhances the user experience and meets evolving future needs. Custom glass fiber reinforced gypsum (GFRG) ceilings in the open areas, designed as part of an acoustically absorbent assembly, integrate lighting and air-conditioning, while maximizing the continuity of the space. Careful zoning of activities and acoustical treatment, as well as new enclosed collaboration rooms, offices, and support spaces around the perimeter of the building foster individual and collaborative work.
