Reflecting the mission of Green Ivy Schools’ values of community and engagement, Perkins Eastman’s design for two facilities in historic New York neighborhoods promote active learning experiences and social and environmental awareness. Facilitating delivery of Montessori educational principles, a daycare center in Battery Park City embraces discovery with three planned zones and a learning loft that mimics a treehouse design. The Pine Street School, blocks away in a landmark Financial District building, is designed to emphasize nature and community connections, enhancing the collaborative creativity foundation of Montessori and International Baccalaureate programs.
