On Sunday, August 24, 2008 The Harriett Coleman Center for the Arts at Lake Highland Preparatory School was dedicated just 15 months after the ground breaking on Tuesday, May 16, 2007.
WELBRO Building Corporation was the General Contractor for the project which consists of a Proscenium Theatre with Balcony, a Black Box Theatre, Three-level lobby with Gallery Spaces, State-of-the-Art Acoustics and Lighting and much more.
WELBRO provided demolition work and construction of the 29,200 square foot, three-story masonry facility. The facility will be used for assemblies, combined class lectures, science fair award programs, college and career events, professional development speakers and many more functions. It is a way to showcase the schools talented students and programs provided to educate and inspire outstanding students with critical thinking abilities and interpersonal skills that will allow them to thrive in their communities as adults.
Lake Highland first opened its doors in 1970 and welcomed 352 students in grades 1 – 12. Today the school has grown to over 2,000 students and 1,400 families.
