An Island for All

Set in a predominately residential and homey neighborhood, the students of this institution come together to send us a different message, one that prompts the idea of an evolved way of learning. Accommodating both 'typical' students and those with certain learning disabilities, this learning center aims to provide different opportunities and avenues to learn. With elements ranging from the Rumpus Room to a public auditorium, the center draws the public in and exposes them to an otherwise foreign concept of inclusive education.
