An open layout, double-height library lies at the heart of the new Lisle Elementary School—both literally and figuratively. In designing the $33-million school, Perkins and Will recognized the need to make the library a centerpiece of the school. The library is ringed by open corridors and classrooms, allowing easy access for all students.
Mark Jolicoeur, principal at Perkins and Will, says that while visiting the school during early design concepts, he watched as students regularly moved from classrooms to the library, as needed, throughout the day. “I was told, that is the way they work,” he recalls. “They do so much independent work, and a lot of what teachers do is more guiding and coaching. If there are [resources] students need to get from the library to work on, they are allowed to go do that.”
Rather than a repository of books where students are expected to remain quiet, this library was envisioned as a dynamic space, serving a variety of activities, where students are encouraged to collaborate and interact on projects.
The library extends up through the roofline, allowing daylight into the middle of the building. Electrochromic glass dynamically tints based on sensors detecting the amount of direct light hitting the space. The east side is darker in the morning, transitioning slowly to the west side being darker in the afternoon.
The 98,000-sq-ft school consolidates two elementary schools, where students previously alternated between two buildings every few years. Sited in Lisle, the two-story building aims to blend into the surrounding low-rise residential community. Designers chose environmentally responsive solutions that optimize transparency, daylighting and security.
主要入口的一个突出特征是外部锌垂直架缝镶板，与健身房的窗口打开一致。最终产品在实际尺寸下具有轻微的差异，这可能具有与冲孔窗口开口的接缝的绝长未对准。在商店图纸期间，设计团队，制造商和安装承包商合作，以优化面板布局，并最大限度地减少对自定义面板的需求。这种阻止潜在的预算增加或运转时间，以影响施工时间表。
