The
School wishes to maintain the basic number of buildings and exterior
look of the historic campus while maximizing effective use and ambience
of the interior spaces for the purposes of enriching the daily and
long term experience of the students. Further, it is understood that
the planned construction work will include major interior renovations
and substantial completion of numerous deferred maintenance issues.
We are entering
our ninth year in partnership with the Emma Willard School. Femenella
developed a system for restoring the 3,600 windows of the school that
ensures maximum efficiency and the highest level of quality while
having a minimal impact on the use of school buildings and the education
of the Emma Willard students. Femenella proposed and supervised the
adaptive reuse of a little used former stable into a window restoration
workshop on the Emma Willard campus. This allowed us to restore the
window in groups of 30 windows. We are currently 65% complete with
the project.
