Cranston Public Schools commissioned Fielding International to devise a district-wide master plan that would “transform their aging building stock into modern, responsive learning environments.” Building on our work with Fielding Nair for the Chappaqua School District in New York, Milder Furniture worked closely with the architects on the much-lauded pilot project for Eden Park Elementary School.
Fielding International specializes in designing schools where learners thrive. And we know that students thrive in environments that promote flexibility.

Client: Rob!nhood Foundation
Architect: 1100 Architects
1100 Architects came to us with the concept of creating a standardized library shelving system that would feature two ‘hinge’ element that would allow the shelf elements to be connected at different angles. The ‘Bookworm’ elements could then be configured (grouped) in different ways, curving through the space, to match unique site conditions for each of the five library spaces.
The five public school libraries were installed as part of the L!brary Initiative sponsored by the Robinhood Foundation and NYC Department of Education.
The system is flexible and allowed for tall stacks, counter height areas, seating areas and even passages. Each box has a laminated central divider and is accessible from both sides.
Milder Office’s design-for-production approach maximized efficiencies and ensured ease of installation. Milder Office produced the components in upstate New York, and assembled in New York city as a means of lowering shipping and delivery costs for the project.
