Venture had the pleasure of working with Montessori Peaks Academy and Jefferson County School District to convert an existing church into additional educational space for MPA’s Homeschool Enrichment and Middle School Programs. The project overcame many challenges as the team worked effortlessly to bring a vacant church up to new code, educational, and jurisdictional standards. The site gained new connectivity with its adjacent sister school, accessibility and life safety upgrades, classroom spaces that utilize existing skylight locations, enlarged hallways, huddle spaces sprinkled throughout for small team collaboration, and much more. Throughout the process, Venture worked closely with the MPA team to explore and maintain Montessori’s philosophies and insure they are reflected in the final product.
