CASE STATEMENT

The Ederic Library has been a foundational space for The Tatnall School since its construction over 50 years ago. The library functions as the central nervous system of the Beekley building, serving not only as a public gathering and resource space for students, but as a showpiece of the campus that greets visitors and parents as they arrive at Tatnall

Over the last decade, profound advancements in educational technology and multimedia have mitigated the utility of the Ederic Library’s learning resources, which compose over 50% of the current floor-plan. The space is therefore underutilized and oversaturated with outdated materials.

This is a perfect opportunity to REIMAGINE the form, function, and features of the Ederic Library to create a transformative central learning space for Tatnall.
