Beaver Country Day School is Private Secondary School, located in a suburb of Boston that boasts a highly progressive pedagogy, championing collaborative learning, digital and physical making, and sharing with a greater community. The school has commissioned NADAAA to design a new facility that will reflect the ambition of the faculty and students and at the same time allow the space to transform as pedagogies are developed. The project addresses a variety of programmatic requirements as well as re-defining the focus of the campus toward a central courtyard.

The primary programmatic consideration of the design is the transformation of their library, currently located in a two-story 1967 era wing of the campus. The traditional stack areas and reading rooms have been re-branded the Research + Design Center, and the former library is expanding its reach into the rest of the school, providing accessible routes, meeting areas, digital and physical fabrication labs, and a variety of group work areas.

The project consists of 24,000 square feet of addition and 16,500 square feet of renovation. Construction is expected to begin this June.
