Saravanan,
Check out the Elon Rhodes Early Learning Center in Harrisonburg, VA. No folding glass walls, but a good use of hallways for learning and large areas of glazing for transparency and visibility.
https://www.vmdo.com/harrisonburg-early-learning-center.htmlYou might also check out the Buckingham Primary and Elementary School in Buckingham, VA that uses a variety of techniques including translucent curtains to create learning areas outside the traditional classroom.

Hello all,
We are working on an elementary school with a school district that is looking for good examples of K-2 spaces that have successfully utilized common areas such as hallways for learning, and have incorporated transparency elements such as folding glass walls, etc., at that grade level. Please post any examples that might be useful in this regard.
Thank you,
