Case Study: PAC-CLAD Metal Panels Redefine Marist School’s Appearance
Unique design with aluminum composite panels offers greater affordability and sustainability
Ivy Street Center is the first new academic building on the Marist School campus in Brookhaven, Ga., in more than 20 years, and it’s the signature project in Phase 1 of the Campus Master Plan. Marist School is a private Roman Catholic college preparatory school serving 1,100 students in grades 7-12. The new 55,000-square-foot Ivy Street Center serves as home for the mathematics and English departments. The building’s name pays homage to Marist’s original three-story schoolhouse located on Ivy Street (now Peachtree Center Avenue) in downtown Atlanta.
The architectural design was created by S/L/A/M Collaborative, of Atlanta. Will Stelten, a design architect and 1985 graduate of Marist, said the school community chose carefully to design a building that would serve students for years.
