Barbour School Transformation Featured in “The Architect’s Newspaper”
The Architect’s Newspaper recently featured plans for the adaptive reuse of Detroit’s historic Barbour School, led by Rafael Viñoly Architects alongside Kyle Smitley, founder of Detroit Achievement Academy and Detroit Prep.
The approximately 186,000-square-foot school has stood vacant since 2009. Its transformation will preserve and amplify the character of the century-old building while introducing the accessibility, technology, sustainability, and infrastructure needed to support a modern learning environment. The design team also includes Parts and Labor Design.
Interface Engineering is proud to play a part in this important new chapter for Barbour School and its community.
