Architectural-Environmental Design Class Chosen to Provide Input in the Design of the Claymont Train Station

Five years ago, Mr. Jim Tevebaugh, CEO of Tevebaugh and Associates, an architectural firm in Wilmington, Delaware, worked with several of Terry Newitt’s AP students on a very successful coloring book about the Wilmington Train Station and its architect Frank Furness. The coloring book is currently available for youngsters who board the trains in Wilmington.

 

One of Mr. Tevebaugh’s next projects is designing the new Claymont Train Station, which will be located where the shuttered Evraz Steel Mill is currently. The project is slated to be completed over the next five or six years. Evraz Steel Mill will be transformed into a development called “First State Crossing”, a mixture of offices, warehouses, and a logistics center for container shopping. The project is estimated at close to $40 million dollars.

 

Mr. Tevebaugh was so impressed with our students that he requested to work again with them, specifically Terry Newitt’s Architectural-Environmental Design class next semester. His firm will be commissioning these students to help design the Claymont Train Station as their semester-long project. He may actually utilize some of their ideas in the real design of the station. At the end of the semester, the students’ 2-D designs and 3-D models will be presented and critiqued by an actual panel of architects selected by Mr. Tevebaugh. Among these architects will be Sean Goodrick ‘97.
