Six cutting-edge libraries provide playgrounds for learning.
IN THE ATTIC SPACE OF P.S. 106, A STAIRCASE HAS CUSHIONS AND WINDOWS WITH A VIEW OF MANHATTAN.
Vibrant entryways invite and entice students to visit throughout the day.
A reading area doubles as a performance space with portable seating and enclosing curtains.
A focus on design allows for new ideas and new interests to grow in a comfortable and safe setting.
