A feasibility study and phased implementation support a 15-year growth plan and embodies the School's mission of fostering social change.

The comprehensive feasibility study evaluated aspects of the school’s space requirements and options for expansion. The final plan renovates the existing building and adds 40,000 sf.Phase 1 renovations improve both the overall appearance and function of the facility. Designed to be completed expeditiously over the summer, the renovation addressed a number of teaching, administrative and support spaces. The reception area directly accesses a new Student Services Center, which includes a student lounge, student resource center, interview rooms, student cubicles and an office suite. We converted a second floor cafeteria into classrooms, while creating a lively and more visible café on the entry level.
