This project involved renovating a large second-floor classroom with an attached restroom, including an interior stairwell as the entryway to the classroom.

It also required installing a new four-story structural steel tower in the middle of a historical building, cutting into and re-framing multiple rooftops for access through the building for the elevator tower and onto basement footings, and installing a new elevator and elevator entrances.
