      American School for the Deaf

Founded in 1817, the American School for the Deaf was the first permanent school for the deaf in the United States and a nationally renowned leader in providing comprehensive educational programs and services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. 
The Creation of Our Two New Dorms
From the earliest design conversations to the final finishing touches, the creation of our two new residential dormitories has been a true testament to vision, collaboration, and excellence. Every step of the journey reflected a shared commitment to building more than just structures — we set out to create spaces that inspire growth, support learning, and foster a strong sense of community.
 
The result is a beautifully integrated addition to our campus — one that not only complements our existing environment but also embodies the spirit and values of our institution. It stands not only as a physical achievement but as a welcoming home for generations of students to come.
