Project Bio
U.S. Department of Labor — Gulfport, Mississippi
This project includes multiple facilities totaling over 100,000 SF as well as extensive sitework. The redevelopment consists of the design and multi-phase construction of five new buildings on the existing Gulfport campus which was the site of the original segregated High School for African-American students built in 1953, and which has been designated as being eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH), both due to the cultural significance with respect to preservation of buildings constructed during the State “Equalization” program of the 1950s, and due to the building’s local architectural significance.
Administration/Education Building: This facility contains administrative offices, classrooms, and medical and dental facilities for students on the Job Corps campus. Three historical facades are preserved and incorporated into the building envelope of the Administration and Education Building.
Operations/Maintenance Building: This building contains storage space for operations equipment as well as workshops for repairing equipment used throughout the campus.
Hard Vocation Building: This facility contains three shops for trades including welding as well as a warehouse space for the entire campus.
