We have worked on an array of projects for the Principia School ranging from the IDEA Center Library Renovation, Library and Fine Arts Concept, Campus Master Plan and the new Bill Simon Field House. 

The Bill Simon Field House, our latest project, stands proudly as a welcoming landmark at the entrance of campus. Named in tribute to a cherished coach, it is strategically positioned amidst various sports facilities, featuring a light-filled lobby and a performance gymnasium with retractable bleacher seating. Alongside practice courts and a running track, it boasts amenities like a fitness center, locker rooms, and coaching offices. Together, these elements enhance the campus sports environment and foster team building which is vital to the Principia School experience. 

We are thrilled to have been part of such a great project!
