Dana Hall School Upper School Classroom Building

Demolished interior while preserving the core structure and prepared the site for 90,000-SF of new classroom space.

Built new glass-clad atria at the north and south ends, integrating modern structural systems with the existing building.

Constructed a three-story light shaft through the main lobby, coordinating complex vertical framing and finish work.

Installed energy-efficient classrooms with advanced HVAC, air filtration, high-performance glazing, insulation, and thermal controls, all designed to meet LEED certification requirements.

Incorporated sustainable building strategies, including mechanical systems that convert heat, occupancy sensors, increased natural light, and low-carbon materials, while keeping the school fully operational and maintaining strict student safety protocols.

Engaged students in the process through beam signing ceremonies, hard hat experiences, and educational walk-throughs.
