The comprehensive renovation of Tate Library at Ethical Culture Fieldston School (ECFS) transformed the signature 1970 building into a learning commons that is a hub for the entire campus. In support of ECFS`s mission of ethical learning, academic excellence, and progressive education, the building`s new open, spacious interior provides greater access to books, information, and technology to enable multiple modes of teaching and learning. Maintaining the integrity of the original stone and concrete building, the exterior renovation includes new windows with “bird-friendly” glazing and a new main entrance facing the campus quadrangle.
