We imagine change in historic and contemporary environments to cultivate thriving, sustainable, and resilient communities.
Maximizing space is a critical concern on campuses. At the Webb School, we transformed Ahmanson Lecture Hall (1965) into Bonnie Johnson Hall: a 1,250 SF state-of-the-art general science lab on the main floor and 850 SF of climate-controlled storage for the Alf Museum of Paleontology on the basement level.
Because of changes in the way students learn, Ahmanson Hall was underutilized. By dividing the space, we expanded its use and helped to reinforce The Webb School’s educational mission.
