From the 2022 Architectural Portfolio: Instructional Media Center, Hunterdon Central Regional High School

The media center at Hunterdon Central Regional High School in Flemington, N.J., was stuck in the early 2000s. With plenty of space for bookshelves and computer labs, the district was struggling to incorporate mobile learning and STEM/STEAM activity zones. A master planning process redefined how the space should be used, transforming it into a true Instructional Media Center. Phase one transformed previously underused computer labs and “out of the way” corners. Breakout rooms were created, and STEAM education was taken out of a back nook and showcased front and center in a new home. Phase two completed the transformation, and the result is a new main street circulation path, multiple small-group breakout spaces, and areas for art display and soft seating.
