Trinity Episcopal Church and School Master Plan and Administrative Core

TPA, in collaboration with VMDO, embarked on a transformative project with Trinity Episcopal Church and School. Tasked with developing a 10+ year Master Plan for the campus nestled in the Garden District, the team faced the challenge of working within the constraints of interconnected historic buildings and a limited site for expansion. 

In 2025, we actualized a key component of this plan: adapting a historic home into an administrative facility, with a modest expansion that places essential functions along a key campus artery.

The Master Plan brings lasting value by preserving the historical character of Trinity's campus while equipping it to meet modern educational needs. This design thoughtfully addresses both the school and church’s priorities for growth within a restricted space, fostering a cohesive campus environment that will serve the community for generations. By enhancing connectivity, security, and functionality, the plan strengthens the relationship between the church, the school, and the surrounding Garden District. This approach not only respects the site's heritage but also provides adaptable spaces that support Trinity’s mission and enrich the neighborhood as a vibrant community anchor.
