EVOKE Studio Architecture 

Location: Oxford, NC

The dynamic renovation of the historic Industrial Arts building and Gym build­ing capitalizes on the rich legacy of the Mary Potter School to reposition the campus as the cultural heart of Oxford. The renovations wipe away years of neglect to educate visitors about the School’s history and celebrate the craft of buildings constructed by students.

In addition to modernizing each building by addressing envelope, accessibility, and MEP, the design weaves together the buildings through branding, exhibits, and a common, clear language. A variety of gathering spaces provide the programmatic flexibility to serve the community and achieve the School’s vision.
