MFA Teen Center

Hello, and welcome to the Museum Of Fine Arts Teen Center. This center is located roughly 500 feet northeast of the Museum of Fine Arts. The main idea around this building is the separation of public and private areas while still being open and seemingly very transparent. The building is separated into many different sections that each have its purpose. On the north side, we have a curation room on the first floor and a patio on the second. The space is supposed to be very open but still has walls to keep the back garden very private. The next block of the building is on the east side. This section is mainly for offices as the first floor is filled with Team Leader offices and the second floor is where the owner's office resides. It has very few windows and is enclosed to keep the offices private. The third block which is on the south side of the building is for more industrial needs. This contains the elevator, stairs, mechanical room, delivery room, and finally some bathrooms. Like the office section, it has little to no windows due to it being a very private area. Next, we have the Area in the center that connects all the sections. This area is seen to be the center of circulation for the whole site and contains a flex space on the first two floors and a library on the top floor. The space is extremely open and public due to the windows and it being the hub of the building. Exiting through the back of the flex space will bring you into the private garden which is the last space on the site. It is surrounded by buildings and fences to keep it very private and disconnected from the city. It is filled with greenery to connect you with nature and also gives you some much-needed private outdoor space that the city of Boston just does not have.
