Please describe the objectives behind creating a new library for the children of your school?
The role of a great library cannot be underestimated, if one wants to successfully implement an international curriculum. We wanted to design a space that reflects the spirit of diversity among Trio World Academy’s student population and fuel the children’s thirst for learning. We revamped the Trio library in 2017 to create an attractive and lively learning space that fulfils all the requirements of students from Grade One to IB DP (Diploma Programme). The area of the library is 1750 ft and we have more than 18,000 books and e books.
