Columbia Public Schools, John Warner Middle School

As the first Columbia middle school designed to foster collaboration, John Warner Middle School provides spaces with varied scales: small-scale corridor collaboration for peer-to-peer work, larger collaboration spaces that are team-based in size, and a media center that has been re-imagined as a center of innovation and collaboration for the entire building. The media center is situated off both the main entry way and the main cross building hallway. It provides a central point in the school and provides a vertical welcoming space, in addition to the traditional horizontal hallway space. The media center includes a STEM lab as part of the mission to be a central collaborative space for the school. The space is open and flooded with natural light, helping to add to the feeling of this space as the heart of the school.
