The Lawrenceville School – Father’s Building

This central building of The Lawrenceville School’s campus, was originally funded and constructed in the 1920s by a group of Lawrenceville fathers. This is a roof-to-foundation overhaul. The top two floors will be modernized in function but restored in appearance, while the Lower Level will become a “Digital Commons”, centralizing the School’s student-oriented tech activity by bringing together videography, electronic music, electronic publishing, and digital still photography all in a collaborative setting of students and adult experts. The scale of the project will take Pop Hall off-line for two years, and its immediate surroundings. This project includes a complete “gut” of the Building including all mechanical systems, electrical systems, finishes as well as monumental modifications to the buildings internal structure. This includes exposing the basement level as the buildings “first floor” and landscaping the surroundings to compliment the new “first floor”. The building will be completely reconstructed from the inside out; and improved for accessibility, technology, and learning. The project was undertaken to LEED Silver Standards to continue the School’s Green campus initiative and sustainable construction practices.
