Village Elementary School - History and Design

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/or design:

    Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want; not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    The reason American cars don’t sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That’s why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.
    Karl Lagerfeld (b. 1938)
