Severud Associates engineered this renovation and four-story addition to minimize impact on the existing school buildings. New columns were transferred with grade beams to avoid bearing on adjacent footings while braced frames located around elevators and stairs were configured to prevent uplift. An existing gymnasium was adapted for use as an extension of a new library.
