MATER BRICKELL PREPARATORY ACADEMY

Mater Brickell Academy is a seven-story, tuition-free public charter school serving grades 6-12. Housing 1,500 students and 90 faculty and staff members, the new school was a much-need addition to the Downtown/Brickell residential neighborhood and hopes to be the educational ecosystem for innovators and entrepreneurs.

The school is equipped with administrative offices and lounge, classrooms, laboratories, a parking garage, cafeteria, kitchen, a basement, and a basketball court/gymnasium on the sixth floor. 

​

This project is located within a dense residential neighborhood, adjacent to I-95, and near an apartment building, as well as a multi-story hotel. The site required an extensive dewatering process. MBA is Academica’s largest build to date and is an honorable addition to the Charter School division.
