Central Institute for the Deaf

The architectural design of CID’s campus respects the sunny Mediterranean architectural vocabulary established by its original architect in 1929. The exterior, constructed entirely of masonry with limestone accents, displays high quality masonry and stone craftsmanship throughout the complex. The exact selection of brick was necessary to match the adjacent original school building. Since the campus serves as a southern terminus for the Washington University Medical School complex, it also was important to blend colors and style with nearby buildings.
 
The main entrance features a finely crafted three-story masonry entry tower above an arch, while the adjacent new school building also features a two-story masonry stair tower. The entire complex features a limestone base, topped by a masonry exterior with limestone accents. Cast stone medallions are placed throughout the complex above first story windows and below the roofline.
