Completing the “E” is what the team at Perkins Eastman DC calls their addition. In the late 1920s and early 1930s as a nurse’s dormitory, the building was planned to get three wings but it ended up with only two. Due to this reason the building sat as an “F” rather than an “E”. So “completing the “E” doesn’t mean replicating the existing building’s style, footprint, or materials. It means making the old building work in its new life as a school. The addition of the brick facade show continuation with the old, while the contemporary elevations covered in Swisspearl signal change: of function, of users, and of attitude.
