To elevate it as an important educational building, the Windsor Middle School Library is centered between three clusters of classroom buildings. Students must pass by the library on their way to classes and the multi-use building. The library provides abundant natural light to minimize dependence on artificial lighting. Large stack areas, periodical shelving and reading areas are distributed throughout the library. With its large glass wall, the computer lab is highly visible from the librarian’s desk and work room.
