- Adaptive reuse of a former big box retail space into a 52,886sf STEM High School.
- Design includes classrooms, science labs; project labs including an engineering bar; open, flexible break out areas; a wellness room to support PE activities; and offices and conference rooms.
- 10,000sf of flexible space gives students space they can use when working on special long-term projects.
- Transparency is achieved through windows and open spaces, showcasing educational activities throughout the school.
Interesting Fact: Due to existing code issues that were left outstanding from prior work done by another firm, SHP had to address life safety improvements before the current project could move forward, and still delivered the project on schedule and within the budget.
