城市儿童是一个新的儿童教育中心，位于布鲁克林的威廉斯堡。 六个学前班的教室通向一个中央双高的庭院聚会空间，由一个大型店面窗户照亮。院子里有一堵加厚的墙，里面有接待台和储藏室，并为教室提供了一个中央聚会空间。
City Kids is a new childhood education center located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Six preschool classrooms open onto a central double height courtyard gathering space lit by a large storefront window. The courtyard features a thickened wall that incorporates the reception desk and storage cubbies and provides a central gathering space for the classrooms.
内部立面的不同形状和大小的窗户使借来的光线进入两层的周围空间，并为儿童和教师提供视觉通道。 教室通过双门和共享空间（如卫生间和游戏水槽）相互连接，半高的墙壁为孩子们提供了视觉上的隐私，也为教师提供了监控能力。
Windows of varying shapes and sizes in the interior façade allow borrowed light to enter the surrounding spaces on both levels and provide visual access for children and teachers. The classrooms are interconnected through double doors and through shared spaces such as bathrooms and play sinks, with half height walls that allow for visual privacy for the kids and monitoring capability for the teachers.
小学生的课后活动可以在接待区的楼梯上进行。窗口为庭院和街道带来光线和视野。 储物柜以城市天际线的形式包裹着院子的体积。 烹饪、戏剧、STEM、艺术和运动等专业教室都在上层走廊上。
The after school program for elementary school students is accessed up the stairs at the reception area. Apertures bring light and views to the courtyard and the street. Lockers wrap the courtyard volume, in the form of a city skyline. Specialized classrooms for cooking, theater, STEM, art, and movement are accessed off of the upper hallway.
一个带有看台座位的休息室提供了一个非正式聚会的场所。不同类型和尺寸的灯具被悬挂起来，以提供一个生动的天花板平面。木板地板也被用来包裹教室和窗户的入口。 剪成图形的隔音毡板提供了视觉上的趣味。大流行促使一些通风方面的改进，如电子和紫外光暖通空调过滤器、无接触式安全和签到点，以及增加可操作的窗户，为所有教室带来光线和空气。
A lounge with bleacher seats provides a place for informal gathering. Light fixtures of different types and sizes are suspended to provide an animated ceiling plane. Plank flooring is also used to wrap the entries to the classrooms and windows. Acoustical felt panels cut into graphic shapes provide visual interest. The pandemic prompted some ventilation improvements in the form of electronic and ultraviolet light HVAC filters, touchless security and check in points, as well as the addition of operable windows to bring light and air to all classrooms.
