Peekskill High School, STEAM Innovation Center
Peekskill, New York
The new STEAM Innovation Center at Peekskill High School brings together students in art, theater, music, science, math, technology, and robotics, maximizing opportunities for exploration, collaboration and fabrication in a cutting-edge learning environment.
Created in a storage space and outdated art and technology classrooms, the awkward wedge shape lent itself to nesting the classrooms around a central “mixer” space that supports casual interaction, small group breakouts, large gatherings and exhibits.
Flexible, movable furniture is provided throughout, enabling spaces to be easily adapted to endless configurations. Walls covered in whiteboard enable teachers and students to write, design and share ideas in full view. Magnetic walls and glass display cases supply exhibit space throughout.
Light was infused throughout the center by enlarging and adding windows, adding glass doors, and incorporating glass partition walls. The use of glass also makes the activities and exhibits in the STEAM Center visible to students and community members, spreading interest in the program.
The center provides a space for the school’s successful robotics team to host regional competitions.
