Convert Parochial School into Apartments
- Campbell Thomas & Co. obtained zoning
and oversaw the construction of a 1910 3-story school building to 20
accessible apartments ranging in size from 1 to 3 bedrooms. Rental
space was increased to 34,700 square feet by adding a floor to its
high-ceilinged gymnasium and theater space and then converting that
into 8 bi-level units. The basement was modified to include 8 car
parking spaces supporting ADA vans, bicycles and electric car charging
stations. The building exceeds energy efficiency codes with low
utility bills. It has solar panels on the roof giving additional
energy savings. Interior public corridors maintain the original
feeling of the school retaining its woodwork, transoms and staircases.
Other new features include a trash chute, a 4-story elevator, stair
tower and outdoor parking.
