With a building of over 175 years old, Springfield PSD was looking for renovations to bring existing conditions back to its original state-of-the-art facility standards.
How do we transform an aging facility to house a modern, robust curriculum for future generations, while keeping its historic charm?
The reinvigoration of Springfield High demands a thoughtful blending of the school's rich history, embodied in its sturdy brick and limestone, with the agility of modern programs. This interweaving of tradition and progress forms the heart of our design. To achieve this, we've focused on four core principles:
- Restore Texture
- Connecting Community
- Opening views
- Crossing time
A competition gym addition, with secure entry and office suite, increases health and wellness opportunities for students and staff, while addressing the district-wide space shortage for student activities. The addition serves as a new front door for visitors, creating a positive first impression for Heyworth CUSD #4.
After completing a community engagement process and passing a referendum, this district’s iconic, historic building received much needed upgrades. This high-achieving district now features facilities that are up to par with their high-quality academic, fine arts and athletic performance standards.
Facing the challenges of growing Pre-K programs and efforts to reorganize elementary schools, Richland County CUSD #1 found the construction of an early learning center was the answer they were searching for.
