About Mayfield Senior School
The renovation at Mayfield Senior School is the gold standard for projects of its kind. In phasing the project, immense value was placed on the preservation of Strub Hall as a cornerstone in the School’s legacy and the history of Pasadena. Constructed as a single family home, projects of this type are often renovated and modified over the years resulting in a loss of the historic features. This renovation is just the opposite; the preservation aspect of the project was the priority from the beginning, with the planned intervention of seismic and MEP systems taking a backseat to the preservation of the building. The painstaking process of repairing, replacing, and matching finishes to the existing historic finishes was prioritized as well. The non-historic spaces were designed and constructed to blend into and showcase the historic spaces while providing a contemporary but timeless aesthetic.
