Convent of the Sacred Heart Future Lab

For Convent of the Sacred Heart, a private preK-12 school in New York, NY, 1100 Architect designed a comprehensive renovation that transformed their underused and outdated basement into a 21st-century learning environment. The redesign houses science and technology classrooms, and a STEAM room and makerspace to create a holistic learning center that encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration. The classroom’s open plans ensure they can be flexibly adapted to different uses and learning styles, allowing the school to support emerging curricula. The design also converted the existing hallway into a learning corridor that features social lounges, collaborative areas, and private reading nooks, transforming a space that was previously used only for circulation into an educational environment.
