A space utilization study of the existing 1922 high school revealed that 60% of the existing high school was not used, rarely used, or used under capacity.
The new high school addition provides spaces that are flexible and have more than one function. Moveable walls, reconfigurable furniture, shared faculty offices, and multi-functional spaces create a 21st century learning environment in a smaller footprint. Collaboration and coming together was a major focus in the arrangement of the educational spaces. The learning environments extend out of the classrooms and into the lobby and corridor providing a full complement of learning settings, establishing a student-centered learning environment. |
The new building has about 1/3 of the circulation space as compared to the original 1922 high school building. With a better utilization rate, through shared flexible spaces, the overall building is smaller equating to 15% less space to heat, cool, clean, and maintain.
