A Naming Task Force consisting of residents and students from Detroit's Denby community have created three new potential names for this building. Built in 1940, it was originally named “Dominican High School.” In 2005, it became a charter school called “Winans Academy of Performing Arts.” In June of 2023, this former charter school closed. Life Remodeled then purchased the property and is repurposing the entire campus into a one-stop hub of opportunities for local residents and students of all ages. If you live, learn, work or worship in this community, YOU are eligible to vote during the month of November to determine the new name! Voting begins November 1st and ends November 30th at 11:59pm. Check back for real time updates and to see which name has the most votes!

Life Remodeled believes Detroiters have all the talent they need, but many don't have access to the opportunities they deserve.

Therefore, in partnership with the community, we repurpose vacant school buildings into one-stop hubs of opportunity where Detroiters of all ages can thrive. We fill these hubs with the best and brightest nonprofit organizations and facilitate collaboration to create far greater life transformation together than was previously possible alone.

1. Students perform at or above grade level in math and reading
2. Families have access to essential health and wellness services
3. Community members obtain higher paying jobs and achieve economic self-sufficiency
