Fifth Street School Rehabilitation
Las Vegas, NV

The Fifth Street School project involves the rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of a WPA-era elementary school in downtown Las Vegas. The 26,000 square footage school, built in 1936, is a rare example of Mission-style architecture in Las Vegas.

The ongoing rehabilitation project includes restoration of the building’s exterior to its historic appearance and renovation of the interiors to accommodate the new use of the building. Existing windows will be repaired; missing windows and doors will be replicated to match the original items, and the roof will be restored to its original style and color palette. Heritage Architecture & Planning is the Historic Architect on the design team led by KGA Architecture. In addition, Heritage Architecture & Planning has prepared the Rehabilitation Tax Credit application and submitted the documents to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) of Nevada and the National Park Service.
