DePaul Cristo Rey High School

Opening in 2011, DPCR was painfully constrained by its structure, originally built as an elementary school. The school leadership set about the ambitious task to fundraise for necessary modernization. They exceeded their goal in less than two years through the generosity of multiple area businesses and through New Markets Tax Credits. ACM Panelworx Plans for the DPCR expansion included a reconfiguration of the campus to add more space for parking, plus construction of a new academic building to replace modular units serving as classrooms.

Martha Wren Briggs Center for the Visual Arts

The Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of William and Mary holds one of the nation’s oldest collections of art at an institution of higher education.

Chula Vista Fire Station, No. 10

The color red is long associated with fire stations. As architects take on the design of such facilities, they may take a number of factors into consideration that call for new ideas.

Station Number 10, in particular, speaks to a contemporary aesthetic that matches the overall vision of the Millenia neighborhood it supports.
