Baldwin School of PR Innovation Center
INNOVATION & EDUCATION
Designed by Álvarez-Díaz & Villalón® (AD&V®) with sustainable practices, the Innovation Center of Science, Technology and Engineering at the Baldwin School of Puerto Rico is a new two-story, 16,800-square-foot building. It’s situated on the beautiful existing 23-acre campus of Baldwin, one of the premier independent English language day schools in Puerto Rico.
The first floor is developed around a Maker Space, a central classroom where students with mutual interests can work together on projects while sharing ideas, equipment, and knowledge. The building design is flexible, diverse and open to acknowledge a range of learners, and to reinforce critical thinking as well as complex problem solving.
Science laboratories and a fabrication area are located adjacent to the Makerspace, with visual proximity to facilitate cooperative learning and investigation.
The second floor of the Innovation Center houses the Upper School Media Center, an electronic library space that nurtures thought and is a statement of philosophy and thinking. The Media Center provides classroom spaces, small study group areas, and an open space that students can reconfigure as needed.
