History and Design
This building was built in 1995 adjacent to an open field that would later become the site for Thomas R. Grover Middle School This was recently after the Plainsboro and West Windsor school districts merged, when a district expansion project was initiated to accommodate the influx of new students entering the area. It uses a modern architecture, and its outside is a facade of reddish-brown bricks and a black-letter Times New Roman sign with the school's name, surrounded by a circular, light gray outline in brick cement. The building is two stories high.
This school was once used as a school for grades Kindergarten-4 but due to the construction of a new elementary school (Town Center Elementary School), Village Elementary School was then converted to a school for fourth to fifth graders.

Famous quotes containing the words history and, history and/or design:
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
