Eaglebrook School of Arts and Sciences

Prof. Lou Goodman

Eaglebrook School in Deerfield, Massachusetts is a boarding and day junior school. The project asks for a new school of arts and sciences on the 800-acre campus. The school wants to integrate the classes and not create a separation between the two different programs. I designed this building based on the users and the site conditions. Circulation is created as a space for interaction between the students and the architecture. Layers of materials are used such as: wood structure and roof, floor to ceiling curtain wall as a tight building envelope and a façade skin. This layering allows for porosity throughout the building. The openings on the façade are based on how the interior spaces are being used. For example, the labs require high stools therefore, the openings are on eye-level of the users.
