Uniondale High School in Uniondale, New York, has transformed its library into a dynamic media center. It is equipped with furniture of varying heights, shapes and sizes. Mobile furniture, bookshelves on casters, and multiple operable partitions control the size of the space. As students enter, they are greeted by a sweeping circulation desk, a playful curved ceiling and lighting design, and curved lounge seating. Countertop-height tables and chairs along the window wall provide individual study areas. A makerspace provides an area for experimenting with new technology. A glazed operable partition creates a breakout space for lessons and demonstrations.
