In mathematics the Fibonacci numbers are a sequence formed by adding the first number of the sequence (0), to the second (1) and each subsequent number is equal to the sum of the previous two numbers of the sequence. Hence the sequence 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34… is a Fibonacci series. This can be seen in the top diagram to the right. The golden spiral (Fibonacci spiral) can be created by drawing arcs connecting the opposite corners of squares in the Fibonacci tiling, the arc uses squares of sizes 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34.
A colored tile mural depicting the Fibonacci spiral was incorporated into design of the third floor lobby of Mark T. Skinner West Elementary School, adjacent to the library and the Fibonacci roof garden. The Fibonacci garden replicates the golden section spiral geometry and contains distinct sedum plantings for each square (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8). This geometry can be viewed from the third floor library and third floor educational corridor. The garden with the adjacent historic water tank will form an educational ensemble that can be used for various mathematical, geometrical and historic learning experiences
