Swaim Associates have completed several projects for religious organizations.

st. elizabeth ann seton church school

The St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School is a 76,540 S.F., $7.6 million kindergarten through eighth grade parochial school. The two-story space in each wing has a 700 S.F. insulated skylight that brings light into both the administration spaces and the classroom corridors. There is a “sacred corner” in each classroom that is expressed on the building’s exterior through fenestration patterns. The courtyard serves as the inner sanctum of the school during the week and as the main exterior social space for the church on the weekends and for special events. The design has been infused throughout with contemporary expressions of Catholic symbolism - in its planning and in its aesthetic - which will carry through in the students religious and academic experience. Positive relationships and consensus were developed with the neighbors to achieve County Board of adjustment approvals and conditional use permits.
