THE [MIDDLE] MIDDLE

The Middle Middle is a middle school design in Ann Arbor. This concept focused on five main programmatic elements dictating the interior of the school. Gym, Library, Cafeteria and the auditorium act as anchor spaces to create the “middle” space where the rest of the program is fit into. The exterior of the school is black in color but the interior spaces are designated with different colors to indicate the different programmatic areas. The middle school was also designed to have multiple uses which could be inhabited by the community during the after hours or the weekends.
