Wareham, MA
Terrazzo Contractor
Joseph Cohn & Sons • North Haven, CT
This new elementary school is designed to help students learn and teachers teach. While epoxy terrazzo was specified for its longevity and cost-effective maintenance, the school’s interior design focused on its unlimited graphic capabilities. Imagery in the floors reinforces learning areas and guides traffic flow while honoring community spirit in 15 cheerful colors representing local natural resources. Along with a map of the town and a compass, learning tools in terrazzo include a color wheel, a variety of triangles, the golden ratio, and a model of the solar system with planets and moons.
