Continuing our long-standing partnership with the district, HED collaborated with Palo Alto High School to renovate and modernize its historic administration building. The original building was built in 1919, and with its adjacent bell tower, it serves as an iconic entry point for the entire campus.
A featured component of the project was the restoration of the historic meeting room—a large double-volume space with a vaulted wood ceiling and original wood casework. Prior to this renovation, the space was filled with cubicles and the original plank flooring had been covered with carpet. HED’s modernization recaptured this space for meeting and collaboration, restoring much of its original character. The historic, irreplaceable light fixtures were even given a custom retrofit so that they could be maintained.
