HGC completed the LaSalle High School exterior and interior renovations at the end of August—just in time for the beginning of the school year.
LaSalle, a Catholic high school for young men,has been a cornerstone of the western and nothern suburbs of Cincinnati since 1960. The building was showing its age, however, and the school aimed to modernize the dated facade while streamlining a few key interior spaces in the process.

This project completed early, and under budget. It is another successful collaboration with architect SHP, who was involved with the award-winning projects at Seven Hills School [9] and Amity Elementary [10]. The HGC team that led this project was the same team that met success on additional SHP school renovations like Summit Country Day [11] and Walnut Hills High School. [12]
