Art Academy Dorms | 1225-1227 Jackson Street

This project helped the Art Academy of Cincinnati (AAC) to create a 110-bed dormitory facility, restoring a historic structure, and creating a “campus” for the Academy helping the AAC in its recruitment and long-term strength as an anchor for the neighborhood.

This project included several innovative processes in the structural stabilization of the building, as well as utilization of several financial tools including state and federal tax credits, LEED certification and OAQDA state incentives.

Constructed during the 2020 pandemic, this project saw many obstacles yet was still able to hit an extremely aggressive construction schedule to meet the schools housing needs.
