Richard Meier: Teachers Village

Richard Meier’s Teacher Village project is essentially a little village, like the name states, with three charter schools, small to mid-scale retail stores, and housing for teachers. All of the classrooms are designed with many windows to let in natural light. Much like many of Meier’s projects, this building is no different in that it features a lot of light colors such as white with elegant lighting. It is also worth noting that the project is in Newark, New Jersey. And, in the area, there is a zoning code that doesn’t allow buildings to be over 60 feet tall, so this building fits that mold. This is just simply a cool project as it really looks like it would be a great place to send your kids to school and also extremely convenient for teachers to live in.
