The U.S. Department of State recently celebrated the dedication of the New U.S. Consulate in Nogales. Located five kilometers from the Arizona border, the new U.S. Consulate in Nogales, Mexico is situated between commercial and residential districts on a steep hilltop site with expansive mountain views. With limited street frontage, the consulate is primarily seen from a distance and is an important symbol of U.S. interest in the region.?Providing shelter from the harsh Sonoran Desert sun, an oversized ramada responds to the regional climate and culture, while also providing the Diplomatic community with a comfortable, welcoming, and protected environment that expresses the spirit and values of the United States. The U.S. Department of State shared a press release about the dedication: "The new consulate in Nogales, designed by Ennead Architects with Page as the Architect of Record and constructed by BL Harbert International, involved a total investment of $203 million, with $70 million directly invested into the local economy. The facility has a(n)... emphasis on sustainability through shading elements, native landscaping, and renewable resources. Expanded consular services reinforce the vital economic and people-to-people ties between Arizona and Sonora, while the design and construction integrate local materials and art to celebrate the rich cultural heritage of the region on both sides of the border."

Yesterday East Harlem Tutorial Program celebrated the ribbon cutting of Scholar's Academy High School. The design of the new Scholars Academy High School embodies East Harlem Tutorial Program’s (EHTP) vision, fostering a strong institutional and community identity that inspires students on their paths to higher education. The building?features specialized classrooms for art and music and fully equipped biology, chemistry, and physics labs. The lower levels of the building house shared spaces, including a gymnasium, a black box theater,?a cafeteria, and a roof garden. These adaptable spaces support EHTP’s diverse after-school programs and serve as venues for community events, providing flexibility to accommodate various schedules and activities. “Ennead aims to create an uplifting environment that encourages the pursuit of higher education while also functioning as an open, welcoming space for the wider East Harlem community to congregate and connect. Using feedback gathered from conversations with families, students, and community members, we created a design that thoughtfully weaves the space into the fabric of the city that surrounds it. As the first new public high school opening in the community in decades, we hope this serves as a model for future public schools throughout the city for years to come"?- Stephen Chu, Partner at Ennead Architects. “We are honored to partner with East Harlem Tutorial Program to expand their successful educational model to a newly designed location that will propel the future generation to success,” said?Molly McGowan, Partner at Ennead Architects.?“Ennead’s design approach to K-12 institutions focuses on creating dynamic spaces that engender collaborative learning, support a range of teaching modalities, and facilitate intellectual curiosity and flexibility that improve student outcomes, making it easy to integrate our expertise with EHTP’s similar mission.” stephen chu, Minh Tran Alfonso Gorini, AIA #ennead #enneadarchitects #ehtp #highschool #k12architecture #architecture

Ennead Partner?Richard Olcott?wrote an article for retrofit Magazine?discussing the transformation of?the?The Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center?as an example of how existing architecture can be re-invented to serve modern communities and support brand identity. Addressing the possibilities of adaptive reuse, Richard writes "The transformation of 555 Pennsylvania Avenue is more than just a renovation; it’s a story of adaptive—if not radical—reuse that honors the past while embracing the future. By reimagining the interior and exterior, the team created a dynamic, state-of-the-art learning environment that enriches Washington, D.C.’s urban fabric while enhancing JHU’s expertise, research, and presence in the nation’s capital."
