Advancing STEAM Classroom Renovations

Princeton Day School

Princeton Day School's Phase I academic initiative involved transforming small science classrooms into a large, flexible STEAM classroom and computer lab. The space features ample storage and large countertops with retractable power sources to support a range of hands-on projects, including 3D printing and laser cutting. Moveable furniture allows for different seating arrangements, while windows provide a view into student projects. Phase I also involved updating ten math classrooms, five faculty offices, corridors, and an interior courtyard. Phase II, III, and IV renovations began in summer 2018 and were completed in 2021.

The Wellemeyer STEAM Center, a cutting-edge makerspace at Princeton Day School equipped with digital fabrication tools, where over 200 students innovate daily. The space is located off the main corridor with interior storefront windows to highlight the work being done.

The spaces are physical representations of the best thinking in teaching and learning.

The existing middle school library was renovated with new finishes and furniture for flexible classroom spaces within the library.

The intentionally designed environment and resources facilitate authentic learning and hands-on skills development that students apply to help them create, problem solve and imagine possibilities.
