EXTERIOR

The facility is organized into distinct dark and light zones: compressed, moody spaces for high-intensity individual training, and bright, expansive areas for group classes and social engagement.

The study area of the Goode Works on Paper Center features flexible seating with four movable tables and custom tiered casework for displaying works, overlooking the adjacent McKinnon Contemporary Galleries. A custom wood and metal barn door with windows separates the public space from the archival storage, maintaining transparency while the warm wood elements complement the museum's existing flooring and create an inviting atmosphere for visitors and researchers.

The River Room serves as a flexible multi-purpose space with a vaulted ceiling and expansive windows featuring bird-strike prevention dots that provide abundant natural light and views of Knitting Mill Creek. Highly adaptable furniture can be reconfigured for meetings, classes, lectures, or social events, or stored away entirely to maximize the space. The room doubles as a small gallery while maintaining the building's sustainable design with recycled fishing net carpeting and PET felt acoustical panels derived from recycled water bottles throughout this versatile waterfront venue.

A celebration of craftsmanship and the enduring power of imaginative play, this Playhouse invites children to create their own stories and experience the simple joy of discovery.
