Hammarskjold Middle School

The primary organizing feature of the design is a two-story “Main Street” corridor that provides easy access to the Main Office, Health Suite, Guidance Center, 550-seat Cafeteria and a 1,000 seat performing arts center. Student classrooms are organized into 14 “Houses”, 7 per grade level, with each house consisting of 3 General Classrooms, a Science Lab, and Small Group Instruction.

In order to fit on the confined site and condense the floor plate, the 14 Houses are organized in a two-story wing with a centralized Media Center and satellite Administrative Suite.
