Growing enrolment necessitated a larger building. Yet, the existing site was centrally located in one of the busiest downtown areas of any major American city, so land was limited and disruption had to be kept to an absolute minimum.

When you cannot build out, you build up - and NRB created a four storey structure, with each floor being 27' x 115'. A new image was also a requirement - as the school was seeking a modern presence in this downtown core, NRB made extensive use of tinted glazing, complemented with architectural aluminum and exposed aggregate panels from top to bottom.

Construction was done off-site at the NRB facility, using post and beam structural steel design, with pre-poured concrete floors. All features and finishes, including a large percentage of the exterior cladding, were installed at the plant, and the building was assembled at the NRB yard and tested, including plumbing, mechanical, and electrical prior to disassembly and shipping to the site.

Most amazingly, due to NRB's unique process, the building was erected on site in just 15 days, dramatically reducing the disruption that would have been caused by conventional construction.
