Hot Springs Loft Apartments

The Hot Springs High School Lofts  consist of the historic restoration of the Hot Springs High School building, the high school of former President Bill Clinton, into thirty-two (32) loft-style apartments and the adjoining auditorium for public use and to house two restored classrooms containing Clinton memorabilia. President Clinton graduated from Hot Springs High School in 1964, and the school operated at the project site
until 1968.

The ARC Arkansas utilizes unique "universal design" features which afford accessibility for
disabled and aging individuals. The universal design concept creates living environments where those persons who are aging or disabled can live in settings with their non-disabled peers, as well as support the integration mandate of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the U.S. Supreme Court decision of Olmstead v. LC.
 

The adjoining auditorium will be restored and utilized for public events and will boast two restored classrooms with memorabilia of President Clinton's days as a student.
This project is located in a qualified census tract. In addition to preserving an historic structure, the project will provide uniquely designed, high quality housing for low income, disabled and aging individuals, a primary mission of The ARC. The units will be desirable to individuals with median or higher incomes as well because of their size, quality, affordability and close proximity to the Central Avenue Historic District, Bathhouse Row, shopping, entertainment, hospitals and other services. The refurbished auditorium and restored classrooms will provide a forum for public events and a viable tourist attraction..
