Project Overview:
The Rosa O. Valdes STEM + Innovation Center is a new home for middle and upper school math, science, and innovation at Greenhill School. The 67,400 square-foot project provides classrooms, fabrication and robotics labs, and makerspaces, intermixed to foster cross-disciplinary teamwork and empower students to collaborate in new ways. Tactile opportunities for learning about sustainable design are found throughout, from a mass timber structure to daylight autonomy, rainwater harvesting, and energy conservation. A double-height commons provides an inclusive, flexible space for students and faculty, while a contemplative interior courtyard, inspired by Greenhill’s former science building, draws natural light indoors.
