Lutheran North Expansion Project Honored

Did you know?!... our recent Lutheran North building expansion was recognized with an honorable mention at the 2020 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Huron Valley Chapter Honor Awards! A display of Lutheran North's design will be included in a year-long traveling exhibit throughout 2020, and it is also featured on the AIAHV website.

Lutheran High School North was a circa-1974 pre-engineered structure at full-capacity and needed to adapt in order to serve a new generation of students. This challenge was answered with a strategic new building and entry addition, along with a renovation of the existing cafeteria. Three elements were deemed essential for a successful project from the outset:
1. Ten additional classrooms, necessitating a new second floor
2. A doubled cafeteria/commons space for dining as well as activities
3. Refreshed, contemporary exterior to broadcast the innovation inside
Entering through the front doors of the soaring new front entrance, students and teachers now benefit from a thoughtfully day lit two-story atrium designed for learning and collaboration. Ten new classrooms were added with direct access to the commons, and the existing cafeteria was opened up to share the space as well. A contemporary building envelope of glass and metal panels provides visual punch to the school’s exterior. This exciting, adaptive learning environment now welcomes over 500 students.
