Omaha Central High School Addition

2021 AIA Nebraska Design Awards | Don Littler Excellence in Masonry Award winner

The design for the Central High School addition enhances the campus without detracting from its historic edifice. Essential to upholding the design intent was the use of actual limestone on the project. Careful attention was paid to the ornate details of the existing façade and how those distinguishing features could be translated into modern construction. Connections were made back to the existing by symmetry, matching profiles, and the re-use of classical geometries found within the architecture.

AIA Nebraska Design Awards Jury Comments: A careful and complimentary reinterpretation of the original stone masonry on the addition.
