From the 2024 Architectural Portfolio: Gilmour Academy Howley Commons

The new Howley Commons at Gilmour Academy in Gates Mills, Ohio, merges a 1924 Tudor-style building with the original 1969 student commons and 1995 chapel structures. Designed to emulate a college-style dining experience, the new facility features multiple food stations that offer a variety of healthful options in a dynamic, multiuse space. The versatile furniture can be configured in various ways, and the interior design reflects the faith-based education philosophy, the lively spirit of the student body, and timeless educational design principles. This enhanced facility provides flexible spaces for dining, meetings, and after-school activities.
