Featured in the September 2026 issue of Northeast Ohio Properties, Saint Ignatius High School’s campus transformation demonstrates how a clear educational vision can guide both renovation and new construction.
Fielding International Managing Partner Dr. James Seaman shares how the design process began by asking a fundamental question: What should be the heart of the school? That exploration helped transform the former library into a new Student Commons—bringing student services, gathering, collaboration, and learning together at the center of campus—and informed the design of the new DiSanto Hall.
Throughout the process, Fielding International worked closely with school leadership, faculty, students, and parents through discovery and engagement, translating Saint Ignatius’ vision for learning into flexible classrooms, learning communities, and spaces that support both focused study and social connection.
