Springfield High

Springfield PSD #186 | Springfield, Illinois

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.

The Challenge

How do we transform an aging facility to house a modern, robust curriculum for future generations, while keeping its historic charm?

The Solution

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
