St. Hilda's and St. Hugh's School

Project Details

Project Description

The St. Hilda’s and St. Hugh’s School project, spanning nearly two decades and five major renovation and expansion phases, transformed the school from a conventional mid-20th century model to a progressive 21st century paradigm. The integration of compact sustainable systems ensured a healthy indoor environment, and freed up valuable floor and roof space. The new immersive learning environment includes a new entrance and lobby, library, technology centers, administrative offices, fitness room, art and music studios, 32 high-tech academic classrooms, science labs, school kitchen, cafeterias, and private dining room. The school’s under-utilized rooftops were built out to accommodate a landscaped play deck, enclosed multi-purpose space, and professional-grade greenhouse.

MBB worked closely with the school on sequencing and phasing. This minimized disruption to the school operations during implementation and helped garner support for ongoing fundraising efforts.
