Ciongoli Center for Innovation
With floor-to-ceiling windows, an open-concept studio, and bright splashes of color, it’s safe to say that our Ciongoli Center for Innovation is architecturally striking. But it’s what happens inside the Ciongoli Center that’s truly magic. Whether a venue for coding, tinkering, building, or problem-solving, our state-of-the-art resources combined with an emphasis on project-based learning allow students to develop fundamental and technical skills in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM), as well as essential skills such as creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.

Wheeler Library
Located next to its campus neighbor, the Ciongoli Center for Innovation, you will find one of the most frequented spaces at Fessenden—The Wheeler Library. A traditional library at first glance, a 21st-century world awaits inside this space where collaboration is key, and creativity is fostered. Divided into areas for younger and older students, the library’s Lower School space features a Story Room and benches and pillows for reading, while the flexible Middle and Upper School library area supports exploration and study with comfortable gathering spaces, a "Think Tank,” and media room for classes and collaborative activities.
