The Latin School’s Interactive Science Forum is a new educational hub for innovation, interaction, investigation, and inquiry.  Fusing science and art, the 2200 s.f. learning center provides differentiated, student-directed experiences to engage and empower students. Its Public Space features an iconic Omni-Globe real-time interactive media projection, flat screen wall monitors, design elements demonstrating STEM-based principles, reconfigurable risers housing specimens, and discipline-related activity niches linking classrooms.  Artscience works include murals as study tools, and kinetic wave sculpture and photographic imagery surrounding the dramatic curved stair. A science lounge is a bridge to the teacher lounge and quiet space for small groups. collapse
