Coffey Middle School - Photos (interior)
The multipurpose gym/cafeteria features a north-facing glass-block clerestory window. The gym and nearby auditorium can be accessed from the outside via the east school entrance.
The original 1925 north wing features a kindergarten with a large bay window and a fireplace — a common feature of Detroit schools from this era.
Classrooms in the 1954 addition feature wall-to-wall windows once filled with glass block. This image shows Room 101, the “homemaking room,” which looks across a tree-filled central courtyard to the kindergarten.
The Coffey auditorium is a plain CMU box with large glass block windows.
The 1954 addition's corridors are double-loaded and windowless. Corridors are finished with glazed block around the lockers, and painted CMU above.
The north landing of the 1954 addition is unusually spacious and receives ample natural light from a large window in the stairwell to the right of the frame.
