WHAT WE DID

Amy Biehl High School is a charter school that is located in the original New Mexico Federal Courthouse built in 1910, when New Mexico was still a territory.  B&D was hired to project manage the restoration of the courtroom skylight, courtroom pillars, paneling and doorways.  The scope of work entailed removing the plaster covering the skylight and finishing the plasterwork to match existing handcrafted patterns.  Sampling, testing and remediation of lead based paint from the woodwork was required to safely complete the project.  B&D installed lighting above the skylight to create the illusion of outside illumination, and replaced the chandeliers and sconces in the courtroom with replica lights to match the originally installed fixtures.
