CVM worked closely with SMP Architects at the Air Liquide Center for Science and Innovation for The French International School to bring new life to a historic site through a thoughtful blend of adaptive reuse, preservation, and new construction. The design introduces new facilities to support the school’s growing academic and community programs including an expanded lab space, that has improved student interaction and collaboration.
CVM provided professional services for the envelope on this project, focused on existing facades and roofing, including condition assessments, design coordination, document reviews, and select site observations during construction. Together, these efforts ensured the campus renewal was both structurally sound and respectful of the site’s architectural legacy.
