The Corning Alternative School for Math and Science (ASMS) broke ground this past June, marking the start of an innovative design project led by HUNT designer Scott Cyr.

ASMS is an innovative learning community with an integrated curriculum based on inquiry. HUNT’s innovative concepts for classroom design include group learning combined with individual initiatives, an enhanced use of distance learning and technology, and an emphasis on education as linked to broader current social concepts. Classrooms are flexible, with a high degree of technology integration. Sustainable design and building practices are a natural fit for this forward-thinking curriculum.

This project will include innovative classroom design elements, such as daylighting, displacement ventilation, interactive building controls, and movable partitions to allow a wide range of room configurations. In keeping with the character of the school, the students themselves took the lead, shovels in hand, to break the first ground at the site.
