To achieve this, DIGroup’s ar- chitects, interiors team and en- vironmental graphics specialists collaborated with staff, alumni, families, local community mem- bers and historical societies to
document the traditions, catalog artifacts and research over 100 years of achievement. The end result: an enriched user experi - ence that weaves the previous building’s past into a modern- day learning environment.

has named DIGroup Archi- tecture , one of the leaders in educational architecture, inte- rior design and environmental graphics design, as the 2022 David H. Knights New Pres- ervation Initiatives Award re- cipient for its innovative design work at Trenton Central High School (Trenton, NJ) and Cam- den High School (Camden, NJ). The firm is being recognized for its sustained contributions to the understanding and pro- motion of historic preservation and history in the state. The U.S. Green Build- ing Council New Jersey also recently named Camden High School as its 2022 LEED Project of the Year in the “Schools” category. Awarded annually, the New Jersey Historic Preservation Awards celebrate excellence in preservation across a wide range of categories. In addi- tion to acknowledging the top preservation projects in the state, other categories include leadership, writing and rising young professionals. “DIGroup Architecture is driven by a unifying ‘architec - ture for change’ mindset that is evident in every single one of our educational projects, where we strive to deliver innovative designs that connect, enhance and strengthen the experience of the end users as well as the greater surrounding commu- nity,” said Jeffrey Venezia , CEO of DIGroup. “Thanks to our unique spe- cialty in repurposing historic artifacts from a demolished building and memorializing them into a new design, we are able to incorporate an interpre - tive component into the learn- ing environment and connect a newly designed exhibition space to the past, present and future,” said Marina Stern, the firm’s director of graphic de - sign. DIGroup worked closely with the New Jersey Schools Development Authority (NJS- DA) on both assignments. At Trenton Central and Camden High Schools, demo- lition of the original historic structures yielded architec- turally significant columns, capitals, pediments, mosaics and other artifacts. In turn, these were integrated into the design of their respective
