CREC ANA GRACE ACADEMY OF THE ARTS ribbon cutting
Today was a very exciting day, Friar was honored to attend the ribbon cutting of CREC Ana Grace Academy of the Arts. The school was designed around the love for art, dance, and music. Friar’s architects and designers took this concept head on and immersed themselves in this vision.
There are many architectural expressions throughout the building. For example, there are steel dancers on the front façade, a glass enclosure that wraps around the Black Box Theater and projections reminiscent of ballet bars are visible on the south elevation. Stone pavers move along the interior courtyard imitating the notes of a children’s lullaby and exterior panels on the north face mimicking sound waves. On the interior of the building, the cafeteria ceiling flows like the ribbons on a ballet slipper and the bathrooms show movement through colorful, pixelated tiles.
This design was not simply work, but an expression of creativity. We are proud be part of the team to help the love of art, dance, and music come to life.
