From the 2024 Educational Interiors Showcase: The Joseph Sears School Renovation
Nov. 4, 2024
The project was recognized for outstanding design in the Interior Renovation category.
The Joseph Sears School in Kenilworth, Illinois, is housed in a historic JK-8 schoolhouse that hadn’t seen major capital improvements in years. A multiphase plan was crafted for facility improvements that preserve the traditional street-side facade while transforming the schoolhouse into a modern, open learning center. All grades have access to learning hubs and staff collaboration offices. The new student commons offers a unique gathering spot, featuring a learning stair leading to the centrally situated library. The new “Cafenasium” provides an inviting lunch area with outdoor seating, designed for flexibility and safety for after-school use.
