CREC Aerospace and Engineering Academy

The CREC Aerospace and Engineering Academy, designed by Friar Architecture, transformed an existing office building into a cutting-edge educational facility for 735 students in grades 6–12. The project included selective demolition back to the structure and a full interior and exterior renovation to support its aerospace and engineering curriculum. ECO Cladding’s subframing system supports 55,000 square feet of Fundermax HPL panels, delivering a modern and durable façade. The school features specialized labs, fabrication and manufacturing spaces, and distinct zones for high school, middle school, and technical education, all designed to inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists.
