Fairhaven High School | Fairhaven, MA
Historic Preservation
The modernization of this historic 1906 historic high school, known locally as the “Castle on the Hill” was a complex undertaking that involved a full renovation/restoration of the original three-story masonry building, and construction of a new main entrance rotunda and two expansion wings.
The renovation phase included conversion of an octagonal double-height gymnasium into a media center/library featuring a study balcony on what had formerly been a cantilevered indoor track.
Program elements located in the new additions include 11 classrooms, a gymnasium, a cafeteria, and a 350-seat auditorium with a full stage and adjoining music practice rooms.
