SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
St. Vincent Pallotti High School occupies a series of buildings in historic Laurel, Maryland. The project was to design a new, three-story atrium to connect two existing buildings on the campus, in support of the new Pallotti Arts Academy, which was to be located in an existing three-story building that lacked accessibility. The project requirements were multi-faceted. On one hand, there was a set of very practical requirements: the existing lobby was connected to a classroom building on one side, that was part of the larger campus. This building was made accessible by an elevator that was added in a renovation in the early 2000s. The new Arts Academy was to be housed in an existing building on the opposite side of the lobby, that had no accessibility, which of course was needed in order to use the building. The school desired to create a new entrance that would embody the spirit of the school, and would immediately project the vitality and vibrancy its faculty, and students.
