RAMSA | Robert AM Stern Architects announces a new collaboration with the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Where Women Made History (WWMH) initiative.
RAMSA will provide pro-bono design and planning services to the Palmer Memorial Institute in Sedalia, North Carolina, which is a State of North Carolina Historic Site and home to the Charlotte Hawkins Brown Museum. This initiative continues and expands the pilot partnership formed in 2022 with WWMH to support sites of women's history.
The National Trust writes, "Founded in 1902 by civil rights advocate, suffragist, and educator, Dr. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, the Alice Freeman Palmer Memorial Institute transformed the lives of the African American students who attended school there."
"Both the team and the project are grounded in a deep respect for the legacy and achievements of Charlotte Hawkins Brown and the many students, alumni, and heirs who shaped the campus and its history."
With that legacy in mind, the RAMSA team is collaborating with its counterparts to create a campus plan that positions the Palmer campus and historic site to become "a vibrant center of education, research, training, and events for learners of all ages and interests."
