The Bristol Arts and Innovation Magnet School is housed in a landmark four-story building originally constructed in 1921 in the heart of downtown Bristol. Formerly known as Bristol Memorial Boulevard School, the building sat vacant after the school system closed it in 2012. QA+M Architecture led the full renovation of the 96,000 square foot historic structure and a 24,000 square foot addition, transforming the building into a performing arts magnet school serving students in grades 6 through 12.

The project preserved the building's 900-seat theater, the largest performance space in the City of Bristol, which has since become an active venue for concerts, theatrical performances, and public events beyond the school day. The building is listed on the Connecticut Register of Historic Places and was designed to LEED Silver equivalent standards.
