ProductsArchitectural design of educational facilities

Haag & d'Entremont was an American architectural practice active in the mid-1900s, primarily dedicated to designing educational facilities. Although their reach extended across the United States, they maintained a significant concentration of projects within Pennsylvania. The firm originated in 1946 under the name Berninger, Haag & d'Entremont, established by Dominique Berninger (1898–1949), George Harold Waldo Haag, FAIA (1910–1996), and Paul (Theodore) d'Entremont (1908–1988). Following Berninger’s exit that same year, the company was rebranded as Haag & d'Entremont. This entity was the successor to Berninger & Bower, which operated from 1935 to 1945 in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania—a location where Haag had formerly been employed. The firm’s offices were situated at 445 Cedar St, Jenkintown, Pennsylvania 19046.

Continuing the school design tradition established by Berninger & Bower, Haag & d'Entremont concentrated on creating suburban educational institutions during the post-World War II expansion period (1945–1970). Their architectural style drew heavily from the Internationalism and Modernism movements of the 1930s and 1940s, characterized by minimalist aesthetics, spacious interiors, and the integration of cutting-edge construction methods. Their designs prioritized progressive concepts in learning environments.
