Architects selected for TMP-M Learning Commons project

TMP-M

Progress toward the construction of the Fr. Blaine Burkey Learning Commons in the summer of 2019 at TMP-Marian Catholic School is moving along nicely.

It has been nearly six months since more than $400,000 was contributed to the development of the Learning Commons at ACE 2018.

Two architects have been selected to help with the design and construction. DMA Architects, P.A., Salina, will serve as the Principal Architect with Gould Evans, Kansas City, Missouri, consulting on the design.

DMA Architects is currently completing the construction of three new ladies’ rooms on floors 1-3 and the remodeling of the men’s restroom on the first floor. We are excited to have Tony Rohr, class of 1980, and Gould Evans National Managing Principal and board member, involved in the Learning Commons design.

Friday, Sept. 28, the committee traveled to Kansas City to visit successful Learning Commons projects at St. Teresa’s Academy and Rockhurst High School, both designed by Gould Evans.
