With multiple design charrettes, interviews, and extensive site observations, Berliner Architects explored the issues and opportunities within the Mayfield Junior School’s campus with teachers, staff, and board members and began to develop a comprehensive master plan to elevate campus learning environments and better serve Mayfield Junior School’s students and staff. The stakeholders identified key issues with campus layout, building utilization, and landscaping that informed the new plan. Berliner took the private school’s budgeting constraints into consideration and designed a plan that could be accomplished in phases over time to allow for fundraising while causing minimal disruption on the active campus.
The masterplan addresses many of Mayfield’s concerns with a new curved library at the center of campus that redefines campus circulation and creates courtyards for daily activities such as morning prayer and lunch. The new library will include an expanded library, art studios, makerspace, robotics lab, academic support spaces, and counseling offices.
Landscaping throughout the campus will be updated to incorporate native plants, water features, and outdoor learning environments.
