The firm joined the early planning efforts for their new middle school in 2015, helping assess potential locations and conducting an extensive programming exercise for the new facility. The new Lower Manhattan location features a dedicated ground floor entry, new facade, and four levels of flexible modern classrooms and specialized learning spaces. Inspired by Blue School’s philosophy that students should collaborate and work together, Rockwell Group ensured that every space, from classrooms to hallways, creates moments for planned and spontaneous group learning and inspiration.

在一楼入口的一个定制的正面面板使街道生动活泼，10平方英尺的外部艺术墙可以容纳旋转的艺术品。在里面，一个像画廊一样的招待会有足够的空间展示学生的作品和霓虹灯黄色中央楼梯编织在一起的多层次学校。位于一楼的另一个主要空间是学校共用区、接送区、学生休息室、自习室、咖啡厅和社区空间。墙壁两旁是一个分层的系统，种植托盘，作为一个小规模的城市花园与布鲁克林田庄合作。各种非正式的座位选择，彩色混凝土地板，和丰富多彩的户外家具给空间一种随意的感觉。二楼专门提供学生教室、学校图书馆和教师工作区。每个教室都有一个很小的区域专门用于安静的学习，并且在饱和配色方案中，用凸起的地毯平台进行稍微不同的配置。

A custom facade panel at the ground floor entry animates the street and a 10-foot-square exterior art wall can accommodate rotating artwork. Inside, a gallery-like reception contains ample room to display student work and neon yellow central stair knits together the multi-level school. The other principal space located on the ground floor is the school Commons, a pick-up and drop-off area, student lounge, study hall, café, and community space. The walls are lined with a system of tiered, planted trays that function as a small-scale urban garden in partnership with Brooklyn Grange. A variety of informal seating options, tinted concrete floor, and colorful outdoor furniture give the space a casual feeling. The second floor is dedicated to a mix of student classrooms, the school library, and teacher workspaces. Each classroom has a small area devoted to the quiet study and is configured slightly differently with raised carpeted platforms in saturated color schemes.

罗克韦尔集团设计了简单的非定向办公桌，允许家具在各种小群布置中进行配置。书衬双高图书馆有共同的桌子和一个巨大的沙发，为学生提供各种各样的个人和协作学习的选择。一座大规模的变色灯光雕塑挂在两层楼的空间中，让学校在夜间增加了街道的存在。另外的教室、独立的化学和生物实验室以及艺术和制作空间都在三楼继续。较低的水平容纳了新学校计划的一个重要组成部分：1,600平方英尺的免费健身房。为了达到这个无柱空间并保持天花板高度，设计和工程团队拆除了一个中央建筑柱，并引入了新的钢材，以保持建筑的结构完整性。

Rockwell Group designed simple non-directional desks, allowing the furniture to be configured in various small group arrangements. The book-lined double-height library features common tables and a monumental sofa to give students a wide variety of options for both individual and collaborative study. A large-scale color changing light sculpture hangs in the two-story space, giving the school added street presence at night. Additional classrooms, separate chemistry, and biology labs, and art and maker-spaces continue on the third floor. The lower level accommodates a critical component of the new school’s program: a 1,600 square-foot column-free gym. To achieve this column-free space and preserve the ceiling height, the design and engineering team removed a central building column and introduced new steel to maintain the structural integrity of the building.

非常慷慨的天花板高度使罗克韦尔集团创造了一个适合篮球以及各种运动的空间。这一空间转换成130个座位的礼堂进行表演和大型学校聚会。一个独立的毗邻的录音室空间，专门用于音乐和舞蹈的特点是一个弹起的枫木地板，定制的乐器存储，和专门的声学处理。中央开放楼梯脚下的空间既是学生休息室，也是活动前的非正式活动空间。墙面用香料纸包着几何壁纸，房间里有定制的蓝色泡沫休息室家具，灵感来自洛克威尔集团的想像力游乐场-蓝色学校是这种泡沫块系统的早期采用者和使用者。

The unusually generous ceiling height allowed Rockwell Group to create a space suitable for basketball as well as a variety of sports. This space converts to a 130-seat auditorium for performances and large school gatherings. A separate adjacent studio space dedicated to music and dance features a sprung maple floor, custom instrument storage, and specialized acoustic treatments. The space at the foot of the central open stair doubles as a student lounge as well as an informal pre-function space for events. Wall surfaces are clad with geometric wallpaper by Flavor Paper and the room contains custom blue foam lounge furniture inspired by Rockwell Group’s Imagination Playground— Blue School was an early adopter and user of this foam block system.
