Servery and Dining Experience Elevated

Dexter Southfield School

The Clay Center at Dexter Southfield underwent a comprehensive renovation, completed in multiple phases. Initially, the existing dining room was fully renovated, followed by a new extension to enlarge the dining area. This renovation provided additional seating and expanded space for the new servery and dish room. The second phase significantly improved the dining room operations and increased the serving capacity for the school. Concurrently the classrooms on the floor above were being renovated with a refreshing face lift. This was followed by the last phase which added four new classrooms above the dining expansion.

History, Reimagined

The entire expansion was woven into the fabric of the existing Clay Center and historic Sears House while giving a fresh modernized feel to the center of campus. The contextual pitched roof allows for grand classroom ceilings eliciting curiosity and activity from students, with great views of New England foliage and the nearby athletic field, also enjoyed by visitors from the elevated terrace during games.
