Windows are fritted in tree shapes. Photo © Robert Benson In the library, the same oak tree pattern is created from perforated metal screens, applied over the glazing. Leaf-shaped acoustic panels hang from the ceiling in the library and auditorium. Photo © Robert Benson The auditorium merges into the central courtyard when its rear door is lifted.

The newest one opened in August, a 280,000-square- foot brick-and- glass structure by Perkins Eastman with Moody Nolan.   Photo © Joseph Romeo Dunbar Senior High School The Tudor-style red-brick school, designed in 1916 by Snowden Ashford, was razed in 1978.   Photo © Joseph Romeo Dunbar Senior High School The much loved, Tudor-style building was demolished and replaced in 1978 with a Brutalist modern structure by Bryant & Bryant on another part of the site.   Photo © Joseph Romeo Dunbar Senior High School In 2013, the Brutalist building was razed and a new structure by Perkins Eastman, with Moody, Nolan, opened on the southeast part of the property where the 1916 structure was located.   Photo © Joseph Romeo Dunbar Senior High School A sky-lit atrium called the 'armory,' after one in the revered 1916 school, has a food court on the east end edged by a glass wall.   Photo © Joseph Romeo Dunbar Senior High School On the second level, the generous proportions of the hall offer a sense of grandeur evocative of traditional architecture.   Photo © Joseph Romeo Dunbar Senior High School On the second floor the media center with Donald Deskey-style chairs and giant corkscrew pendant lamps invoke the aura of Radio City Music Hall.   Photo © Joseph Romeo Dunbar Senior High School The bridge leading to a senior lounge allows views of the activity in the atrium below.   Photo © Joseph Romeo Dunbar Senior High School Ample windows also bring light into classrooms and labs.   Photo © Joseph Romeo Dunbar Senior High School The 600-seat auditorium is sheathed in maple panels and backed by a glass curtain wall behind the stage. There, a terrace overlooking a tree-lined street accommodates receptions before or after ceremonies and performances. As journalist Alison Stewart writes in First Class: the Legacy of Dunbar, America's First Black Public High School (2013), the design conveys a sense of 'real romance.'   Photo © Joseph Romeo Dunbar Senior High School   Image courtesy Perkins Eastman Dunbar Senior High School   Image courtesy Perkins Eastman Dunbar Senior High School   Image courtesy Perkins Eastman Dunbar Senior High School   Image courtesy Perkins Eastman Dunbar Senior High School   Image courtesy Perkins Eastman Lentzl@bnpmedia.com (Linda C.
