Wyoming Valley School

The Wyoming Valley School is a building with an unusual elongated hexagonal shape designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1957. Its layout divides into two south-facing classrooms and a large assembly room positioned to the north.

The school board commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design the building in 1957 to consolidate separate schools into one facility. This merger represented a major shift in how the region organized its education system.

The assembly room honors Frank Lloyd Wright's mother and her sisters, who devoted themselves to education throughout their lives. This dedication shapes how visitors understand the place as a space linking learning and community.

Natural light enters through clerestory windows in the assembly room and classrooms, creating bright learning spaces. The basement houses essential utilities and allows easy access to all areas of the building.

The assembly room contains a distinctive sunken area complemented by a raised section and fireplace. This thoughtful design shows Wright's skill in shaping how people move and gather in a space.
