This major renovation and addition to Cushing Academy’s adjoined Ashburnham House dormitory and Fisher-Watkins dining hall supports contemporary student life while simultaneously upgrading food service, life/safety and accessibility needs. The new daylit and spacious servery features exhibition food stations, a specialty pizza oven, and high-quality finishes, in conjunction with an entirely new kitchen.

Renovations to 24 student double bedrooms and three new and renovated faculty apartments brought the faculty-to-student housing ratio up to campus standards. New and inviting dedicated entrances for dining and residence spaces are served by a shared terrace and landscaping that blends accessibility subtly into the design.
