2013 | École Élie Dubois Renovation in Port-au-Prince

École Élie Dubois is an all girls secondary school located in the historic district of Port-au-Prince, a few blocks fromt the National Palace. Established in 1913 by the Community of the Daughters of Mary, École Élie Dubois began as a vocational boarding school. The school currently offers the standard Baccalaureate curriculum as well as professional skills and vocational training courses for embroidery, fashion, and decorative arts. The original historic classroom building, which faces the main entrance on Rue du Centre, was affected during the 2010 earthquake. As an architectural designer at Architecture for Humanity, I worked with the architectural and structural team to produce bidding documents for the rehabilitation of the century old building.

The restoration work on this historic campus was supported by the Barefoot Foundation, Fondation CINA, Students Rebuild with the Bezos family Foundation and Interamerican Development Bank (IDB).
