Weaver High School – Hartford, CT
Weaver High School was designed in the late 1960’s, when education researchers thought that enclosed environments with limited views would eliminate distractions and help students focus on learning.
While public spaces, such as breakout zones and stairwells did have light, the long façade was virtually windowless. Architects removed approximately 100,000 sf from the structure that included the 5th floor, several structural bays (one bay deep along the entire south façade), plus additional full height of the building. Stairwells in the first bay were removed to create an entry canopy. The newly transparent façade offers views overlooking the football field and accommodates a dining area and auditorium. New stairwells empty into this space, creating a place for students of all disciplines to connect.
Sustainability measures such as increased natural light within the building and the use of cost-effective, energy-efficient materials and systems meets Connecticut High Performance Building Standards (LEED Gold equivalent). After-hours use of the more public, multiuse spaces gives greater access to resources, programming and extra-curriculars to the surrounding community.

Our design for the new @ct_innovations office at @districtnhv is included in an @officesnapshots roundup of return-to-workplace solutions for the post-COVID office (link in bio). Flexible glass spaces within an exposed, high-ceiling, semi-industrial environment turned out to be a better design choice than we ever could have guessed--and a big help in working with CI on their return-to-work plan.
