West Nyack NY -
A ribbon cutting took place today on the first new
classrooms in decades built at Rockland BOCES.
These light filled spaces are already making
an impact on the students and teachers at this
school for children with special needs.
Michael Shilale
Architects (MSA), an expert in educational spaces and
environments for individuals with special needs, was
a perfect match for this project. Utilizing
strategies to create better early childhood
classrooms, such as direct connections to the
exterior, increased daylight and views, and improved
ventilation and controls - these spaces are the envy
of every teacher.
An innovative
'floorless' modular technique was utilized offering
many advantages. It allowed a connection to
the existing building and the exterior without
stairs and ramps. It also minimized the
construction time on site, reducing the impact to
the existing program. To watch a cool time

Building geometry, overhangs, minimizing east and
west glazing, as well as individuals controls and
zoning will improve indoor comfort and save energy.
