Description

We converted one of the oldest continuously running banks in US history into the new Arts and Music Building for The Southport School. The renovated building enhances student learning by giving art and music a more prominent role in the curriculum after both have shown promising results in chronological processing, spelling, reading skills and educational achievement in children and adolescents with dyslexia.

The historic building posed many challenges for us, from the keen attention to detail required for the preservation of the historical façade to logistics of removing a multi-ton granite vault.
