This growing school needed to use valuable property in-hand for additional, modern classroom space. Our challenge was to convert a four family apartment building into the new Fifth and Sixth Grade Center, and establish an aesthetically cohesive campus. Our design features artful awnings and lighting that adorn the facades of the full school, as well as a new visual center to establish a beautiful presence on Hanley Road. This project typifies our approach to environmental stewardship through repurposing sound existing structures into new uses by unorthodoxed planning strategies.  The teachers appreciate how the space functions, and even the students think our plan for the classrooms, science lab, and patio is cool - as far as school goes.
