a.m. RODRIGUEZ ASSOCIATES inc. partnered with the former Duquesne School District, Allegheny County and Duquesne Light to acquire and transform Duquesne Junior High School into Summit Retirement Residence. Two vacant houses adjacent to the former school were also acquired and torn down to provide additional space for outdoor, landscaped sitting areas and a courtyard for residents. The complex was designed to allow seniors to enjoy their independence while shedding some of life’s burdens that can accompany homeownership.
