The Mahomet-Seymour School District wanted to take advantage of their high school expansion to create an image that reflected the strong civic pride in their school’s education, music and athletic programs.

Located in a small but rapidly growing community, Mahomet-Seymour High School received additions to accommodate an enrollment which had grown from 850 to 1,100 students.

Thinking BIG

Utilizing a design thinking process, BLDD worked with educators and the community to create conceptual spaces to solve the high school's existing problems. This led to a "hacked" environment, where prototyped rooms were then tested by students and faculty to gather feedback for the most effective, solutions-based designs to the new space.

Details that make a difference.

The original high school, constructed in 1980 using a pre-engineered metal building system, lacked character and identity.The placement of additions on the most visible south and west sides of the school provided opportunity to dramatically improve this perception.
While matching brick and roof slopes unite the additions with visible portions of the original school, a new massing vocabulary gives emphasis to the main entry, band room, weight room and field house entry on the school’s southern front facade.
Brick accent detailing and deep rib metal panels also contribute richness and strength.
