Special Features:
An Achievable Dream was founded to give students who are at risk of failure due to multiple social factors a chance to succeed.

Our team renovated the existing Briarfield Elementary School to transform it into a middle and high school for An Achievable Dream participants. In addition to 57,000 square feet of renovated classrooms, administrative areas, and additional spaces, the school boasts a new media center, large multi-purpose room, and gymnasium. A new facade welcomes students as they arrive, and new windows and roofing throughout the school complete the transformation from an outdated elementary school to a modern center of learning.

Our team also designed a new tennis facility and a one-story locker building for An Achievable Dream, a collaborative project between Newport News Public Schools and the City of Newport News. Through tennis, the facility allows students the opportunity to not only learn a sports skill but to improve their entire person through character development and discipline. Projects issued as work orders under an annual contract with Newport News Public Schools. For more information visit www.achievabledream.org.
