The Greenwich Academy

Performing Arts Center and Athletic Center
exterior || interior
The setting is a lovely residential neighborhood of large, early twentieth century houses. One of these, Campbell Hall, now an admissions and administrative building for the Greenwich Academy, has a dominant, well-proportioned, classical portico. It anchors the remaining academic buildings, which are effectively hidden behind brick walls.

Our work at The Greenwich Academy, a college-preparatory school for girls, involved designing buildings to advance the school's arts and athletic programs, while complementing its existing architecture. In doing so, we also designed a new garden courtyard providing better overall access to the campus. The Athletic Center has a new double gymnasium with five squash courts, a fitness room, and locker and shower facilities. We also expanded and renovated the existing Ramsing Gymnasium, restoring its first floor entrance and adding a new two-level lobby that provides entry from the garden courtyard and athletic fields. From the lobby, viewers can look into the new gymnasium and the fields beyond.
