Smith Sinnett is proud to announce that we were selected as one of 15 firms featured in the latest edition of NC Architecture Magazine! The special “Unconventional Projects” issue celebrates innovative, bold designs that expand the possibilities of architecture.
Our two featured projects—The American Cooperative School of Tunis and the School of Aerospace Technology—highlight our passion for designing future-ready educational environments that respond to community needs.
The American Cooperative School of Tunis (ACST)
Serving a diverse, global community, ACST needed a flexible master plan that would expand opportunities for collaboration, cultural exchange, and project-based learning. Our design introduced STEAM labs, study rooms, and a central learning commons that connects new academic wings. Outdoor learning areas at multiple levels further enrich the campus experience. A detailed phasing plan ensured the school remained safe and fully operational throughout construction.
School of Aerospace Technology
As a regional hub for innovation, the School of Aerospace Technology prepares students for high-demand careers in aerospace, aviation, and advanced STEM fields. At the heart of this 52,220 SF facility is a 15,000 SF air hangar surrounded by flexible workspaces, classrooms, and labs. Designed in partnership with local colleges and military divisions, the school equips students with hands-on training and industry-aligned skills while supporting military-connected families in the region.
We are honored to see these projects included in NC Architecture Magazine’s pages and grateful to our clients, partners, and collaborators who helped bring these designs to life. Together, we’re shaping spaces that inspire innovation, foster community, and prepare students for the future.
