Forever on a journey to better ourselves and participate in the uplift of our communities, we're so very proud of this in-progress photo of our design-build project showing views out to Philadelphia – what will be the new Camden High School (photo cred: ACPhoto by Gregg Kohl). The school was designed by the New Jersey Schools Development Authority and is being constructed by Ernest Bock & Sons Inc. The new school will pay homage to its predecessor with displays of historic architectural elements and memorabilia from the prior school, for which we are designing a full gamut of interpretive graphics. Look for the reveal of the completed school September 2021!
