From the 2024 Educational Interiors Showcase: Farmington Central Elementary School Library Renovation
Nov. 6, 2024
The project was recognized for outstanding design in the Libraries/Media Centers category.
Outdated, dark spaces were transformed at Farmington Central Elementary in Farmington, Illinois, to create exciting areas for students to read, explore, research, create, and connect. Walls were opened up to admit more natural light; a dedicated makerspace was created for hands-on learning. The new library and makerspace facilitate various learning modes, including collaboration, project-based learning, STEAM education, and student presentations. Varied, flexible seating options accommodate different learning and reading positions. Graphics that illustrate coal mining and agriculture inform students about their community’s past.
