From the 2024 Architectural Portfolio: Live Oaks Career Campus

The project was recognized in the Renovation/Modernization category for its outstanding design.
April 24, 2025

Live Oaks is a career technical campus built in 1971 in Milford, Ohio. The existing facility was unwelcoming; it had a receding, dark entry that posed a security risk with no barrier into the school’s circulation and broken sight lines for student supervision. The new entry creates a welcoming environment that reveals a new perspective from each changing vantage point while maintaining important sight lines. New gathering nodes are dotted throughout the school: the collaborative stair in the commons, bench seating, and lounge spaces scattered along circulation paths.
