ROCKY RIVER, Ohio – The recent renovation of the Rocky River Middle School Media Center has been selected for publication in Endeavor Business Media’s American School & University 2024 Educational Interiors Showcase. Featured in the August 2024 edition of the magazine and online at SchoolDesigns.com, this annual competition celebrates excellence in educational design.
The renovated Media Center at RRMS was selected as an Outstanding Design for Interior Renovation. A jury of American Institute of Architects (AIA) Committee on Architecture for Education members and education administrators evaluated submissions from architectural firms, schools, and universities across the country and 66 projects were chosen for publication.
ThenDesign Architecture (TDA) led the renovation in the summer of 2023 and presented the district and RRMS with a plaque to commemorate the award at the October Board of Education meeting.
The award announcement noted:
The media center renovation has successfully transformed a traditional library into a modern, multifunctional space that caters to students, teachers and the community. A key design feature is the addition of a Makerspace equipped with advanced technology such as a 3D printer, Glowforge machine, wood carving machine, Cricut machine, heat press, Tinkerspace, STREAM lab, Clevertouch displays and Legos.
