HMFH worked closely with the Media and Technology
Charter High School to create appropriate space for its innovative
educational program. Intended to serve a self-selected group of
high school students from Boston, the MATCH School mission is to
use media and technology not for vocational education, but to facilitate
instruction of the basics and actively engage college-bound students
in their education.
The school occupies a 20th Century landmark along Commonwealth Avenue's
former "automile." Known as the Ellis-the-Rim-Man building,
the three-story structure was built in 1917 as a showroom for the
Lincoln Motorcar Company. Decorative columns and a grand marble
stair with iron grillwork were restored and incorporated into the
school-wide assembly space. This multi-purpose space, with views
of Commonwealth Avenue, can be darkened for performances and also
serves as a dining area and study space.
In addition to the large assembly space, the MATCH School has nine
general classrooms, a computer lab, a media center, and small break-out
spaces to accommodate the school's morning advisory sessions.
