Arts and College Preparatory Academy (ACPA)
Imagine a high schooler, a virtuoso violinist, who flunked math in middle school. However, in high school they learn music is math and are acing calculus…
CLIENT VISION
ACPA wanted to expand its unique and highly successful programming that combines the arts with a college preparatory curriculum to a younger audience. However, as an independent, not-for-profit charter school, they did not want to take on significant debt to do so.
CHALLENGES THAT WERE OVERCOME
We assisted ACPA with securing a grant to fund 50% of a new 7th and 8th-grade junior high building. The grant was given by the State of Ohio OFCC to high-performing charter schools that met certain academic performance standards.

CLIENT/PARTNER SINCE 2018
“TRIAD Architects is an excellent partner. At all points in the process of our building expansion at the Arts & College Preparatory Academy, from initial focus groups with students and staff to construction completion, skilled TRIAD members that we worked with were knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. Throughout the process, they listened to the unique needs of our progressive educational program and student population, collaborate with us in problem-solving, and incorporated design elements that met our needs in creative and cost-effective ways. ACPA was fortunate to have found a partner in TRIAD who shares our values of inclusivity and safety and strives to contribute positively to the greater community.”
We are creative students. We are architects and designers. We are TRIAD.
