Alten Construction recently wrapped up renovation work to the St. Anselm Hall on the campus of Marin Catholic High School, an Archdiocesan, Catholic, co-ed college prep high school in Kentfield.
St. Anselm Hall was originally designed as a convent to house the sisters who taught at the school in the 1950s, but most recently, those rooms were turned into storage and office space. The school’s recent growth spurred the restoration and St. Anselm Hall’s complete revamp.
Alten Construction demolished the existing interior of the 17,733-square-foot, two-story building, reconfigured the structure with new spaces and classrooms and turned them over for student and staff occupancy in October 2020. St. Anselm Hall now consists of a new Counseling Center, Campus Ministry Center.
The commercial construction team also remodeled some existing classrooms and Poetz Theater. Other repairs included new exterior plaster and roof, a structural reboot, new lighting, plumbing, a new HVAC system and site work, overall code compliance and general building infrastructure improvements, fire sprinklers throughout St. Anselm Hall, reroofing, repainting and American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility enhancements, among others.
The project cost was not disclosed.
The commercial construction firm is also affiliated with the Construction Employers’ Association, Marin Builders Association and the North Coast Builders Exchange.
