RENOVATION OF RIVERVIEW HIGH SCHOOL Sarasota, FL

An internationally acclaimed icon of modern architecture, Riverview High School, designed by Paul Rudolph in 1957, was threatened with demolition as part of a school replacement project. Richard Price led an interdisciplinary team propose the integration of the new school building with an adaptive re-use of the historic school, bringing workforce housing, community facilities and commercial uses together in the restored Rudolph buildings.

Re-capturing Rudolph’s original spirit of innovation and invention, the passive solar design and natural daylighting of the original project will be integrated into a new program of sustainable design, including a high performance energy system, and integrated bioretention systems.
