This comprehensive high school will eventually house 2,500 students. Phase I will house 1,300 students and will include the administration, library/media center, lecture hall, gymnasium, and a three story academic tower. The unique feature of the school is the enclosed student union. This was executed by putting a roof across what would have been space between two buildings. The weather can get fairly warm in the area so the large enclosed area can be an escape from the heat.

This project will house 2,500 students and includes an administration building, 2 gymnasiums, 3 academic wings, visual and performing arts area including an 800 seat, state of the art theater and a food court. The design team was able to create a student union space between two buildings. The team worked closely with the state architect to use the "mall concept" in the code. A large expansive covered area now functions as a multi-use space as well as a lobby extension for the gymnasium and theater.

This multi-faceted program includes a school of cosmetology, culinary arts, veterinary science, auto shop and construction trades as well as other career technical areas. We were able to create a new face and identity to the campus. The culinary arts and auto shop were additions to the campus, but all other projects were modernizations to existing buildings. The light construction of the original buildings posed a great challenge for replacing exterior finishes and upgrading mechanical units. The project gives students an opportunity to gain real experience by offering a full service cafe, a dog grooming service, true cosmetology services as well as other real service programs.

These include locker rooms, coaches offices, concessions, restrooms and a large pool equipment storage building. CMU was used as a building material to create a durable exterior finish. We were able to create a sweeping wave pattern in the CMU to relate closely to the aquatic nature of the project
