Hard Hat Tour: The Thacher School – New Dining Hall
April 4, 2019 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Free – $15Join us for a tour led by Blackbird Architects Inc.
Located in Ojai, California, at a highly selective, co-educational, independent boarding school located on 427 acres of hillside overlooking the Ojai Valley.
A new 14,500 square feet Dining Hall for the school revitalizes the heart of campus with inviting and high functioning spaces that better serve daily and yearly traditions. The design is an inspiring new campus center that aesthetically stems from the School’s vernacular but also takes advantage of contemporary technologies, materials and construction methods. Consistent with the School’s environment goals – the facility is on track to achieve LEED Gold certification
The project has also greatly benefited from a collaborative and integrated team approach where the owners, contractor and professional team have been fully engaged in the process from the onset.
