Project consisted of the adaptive reuse of a 75,000 square foot, 3-story parking garage and auto assembly facility constructed in the early 1920’s. The concrete structure was renovated into 12 classrooms, administrative offices and support areas to house a University Preparatory Academy elementary school. Also included in the project was a 15,000 square foot gymnasium addition. Site work included a new entrance, parking lot and playground.

“The Monahan Company continues to be an integral partner in the mission of the Thompson Educational Foundation. Monahan' staff is professional, capable and certainly understand what a budget is designed to accomplish. It has been extremely helpful to have, from the beginning of a project to the end, significant involvement by the Monahan family. The Thompson Educational Foundation values its relationship with the Monahan Company and would highly recommend them.”
