Cubellis Gets Unanimous “Green” Light for Historic Landmark Project by City Historic Preservation Board

Northside Elementary School to Preserve Historic Landmark Designation with New Sustainable Design

Fort Lauderdale, FL - Cubellis, an international architectural, interior design and engineering firm with offices in Fort Lauderdale, is moving forward with the School Board of Broward County as the Professional Architectural Consultants for the completion of the Northside Elementary School’s master plan.

Built in 1927, Northside Elementary School is the only original elementary school built in the city of Fort Lauderdale that remains in operation, and as such is designated as a Historic Landmark. Cubellis worked closely in preliminary planning with the School Board of Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale Planning & Zoning and Historic Preservation Boards to protect the integrity and beauty of the original campus, while incorporating a two-story, six-classroom addition directly onto the historic building. The $13.6 million L-shape addition will enable a new secondary courtyard to be created, continuing the open exterior corridor system of the older building and re-creating the Spanish revival style typical of the 1920’s architecture in southern Florida.
