Ayres Performing Arts Additions

Indianapolis, IN

The Ayres Auditorium addition is ushering in a new era for the Park Tudor Campus.

This 1,500 SF addition is a contemporary take on the classic academia style of the PK-12 campus. The updated facade is sleek and pristine with clerestory windows that anchor it to the landscape, providing students and patrons clear views of the academic buildings.

The neutral color palate and natural materials such as the stone columns allow the classic auditorium to transition easily into the modern atrium. The expansion includes a new concessions bar and additional gathering space for community events and receptions, as well as updated audio technology that allows the lobby to function more efficiently with the performance space and as a standalone reception venue.

– WENDY JEWETT, MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE TEACHER

Renovate and reconfigure a threestory school while it remained in use.

Renovations brought 21st century learning to the students of Grosse Pointe Academy while preserving the school’s striking Gothic exterior.

A phased renovation program met these goals by rearranging program areas, reclaiming space for education and preserving historic elements. Preservation efforts brought new life to the 78-year-old building by restoring windows and doors, as well as the original Welsh tile. Classrooms are now 200 to 250 square feet larger and feature integrated technology to support modern educational programs for grades K-8.
