H&A was entrusted to determine the feasibility of coverting a 1960s convent into additional classroom space for this all-girls Catholic school serving grades 6-12. Following a comprehensive Capital Asset Assessment of the convent, educational buildings, and grounds, H&A developed a Master Plan for phased construction. It detailed both the physical and educational needs of the school in order to align its mission and vision for the future. Given the inappropriate column spacing, floor-to-floor dimensions and misaligned floor elevations, it was determined that the convent structure would not accommodate conversion to classrooms. Phase One of the project, which is complete, involved demolishing the vacant convent to make way for a three-story 35,000 sq. ft. addition designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing structure. The first floor houses new faculty and administration offices, the second has five new modern science labs, several prep stations, conference rooms, a greenhouse, and ample storage facilities. Phase Two of the Master Plan calls for the construction of a new athletic complex, while Phase Three will convert the old gymnasium into a library.
