Education
The staff at St. Mary’s Elementary knew its gymnasium had untapped potential as a community space and a central hub for school activities. After being played in for decades, the gymnasium was in dire need of a complete refresh. The space was composed almost entirely of original materials dating back to the 1960’s when the school was built.
In partnership with St. Mary’s, we took the lead on designing a new look and feel to breathe new life into the gym. Now, it serves as a welcoming multi-purpose space for the families of St Mary’s Elementary and will support the community in Lancaster for years to come.

Approach
Future-Proofing
The goal of the project was to provide a functional, visually compelling, and future-proof space for St. Mary’s Elementary. From the start, we collaborated with the school’s team to explore every possibility the gym could offer.
Scope
Community Spaces with Purpose
Every feature was carefully chosen to craft a modern and adaptable venue for all. Our team re-painted the walls in uplifting tones, laid down durable new flooring for growing athletes, and integrated cutting-edge athletic equipment. A custom lighting design added warmth and versatility, complemented by a high-tech audiovisual system, motorized window blinds, and an easy-to-use stage curtain.
Results
A Multi-Purpose Space
The result? A redefined space that speaks to St. Mary’s values and enriches the experiences of every student, teacher, and community member who steps inside.
A State-of-the-Art Facility
Having an attractive multi-purpose space in the community equates to a healthier, happier culture for all—a foundational piece of the educational puzzle for young people. A state-of-the-art facility also boosts morale of the staff and the confidence of the parents in the St. Mary Parish. Now, the brand new gym communicates that St. Mary Lancaster is a wonderful place to raise a young family.
