Richmond, RI Studio G Architects, was selected as the architect for Meadowbrook Waldorf School. Studio G Architects emerged as the ideal candidate to lead this transformative project. Meadowbrook Waldorf School serves children from nursery age through grade 8. The children learn and play outdoors every day on the 28-acre campus of woodlands, streams, and meadows.

The school engaged Studio G for the design of a Community Center building. The Community Center will be integrated into the surrounding natural environment while enhancing the school’s focus on providing a social education and supporting each child’s relationship with, and stewardship of, the earth. The new Community Center will be energy-efficient, sustainable, and resilient. Studio G’s design will emphasize a developmentally appropriate and experiential approach, ensuring that every aspect of the environment supports the holistic growth of students. A strong focus on arts, music, and eurythmy will be integrated into the spaces, promoting creative expression and rhythmical movement. Additionally, biophilic design principles will strengthen the students’ connection to nature, fostering a sense of tranquility and well-being. Hands-on experiential learning will be at the core of the design, creating spaces that encourage exploration, discovery, and meaningful engagement with the world around them.

“Studio G is extremely excited to partner with Meadowbrook Waldorf School to create a beautiful and inviting space for all children to enjoy for years to come,” said Gail Sullivan, managing principal at Studio G Architects. “Meadowbrook Waldorf’s emphasis on creating meaningful learning experiences, engaging children in nature while inspiring wonder, curiosity, critical thinking, and confidence aligns with Studio G’s mission to support holistic growth of students through Universal Design for Learning principles.”
