More than 10 years in the making, the $52.7 million expansion and renovation of the Montana Heritage Center will be a state-of-the-art repository for the state’s historic collections and resources, serving as a place for learning and discovery. When complete, the project will nearly double the size of the existing building and include 66,000 square feet of new space, plus exterior and interior renovations to 66,995 square feet of the existing 1952 Veterans and Pioneers Memorial Building. The Cushing Terrell design melds new with historic, using the space between the two structures to create a dramatic entry that will seamlessly connect the two facilities.

Bryant Elementary School is one of three new schools in Helena, Montana. Designed to replace its 80-year-old predecessor which suffered from aging infrastructure and overcrowding, the new, two-story, 44,792-square-foot building is three times the size of the original and features an elevated sky bridge, connecting classrooms and administration areas to a community gym and music room. Each grade level (K-5) has classrooms and common areas, linked by paint accents in a single bright color. Adjustable lighting and plenty of natural light in the classrooms reinforce wellness.
