Description

The comprehensive feasibility study evaluated aspects of the school’s space requirements and options for expansion. The final plan renovates the existing building and adds 40,000 sf.

Phase 1 renovations improve both the overall appearance and function of the facility. Designed to be completed expeditiously over the summer, the renovation addressed a number of teaching, administrative and support spaces. The reception area directly accesses a new Student Services Center, which includes a student lounge, student resource center, interview rooms, student cubicles and an office suite. We converted a second floor cafeteria into classrooms, while creating a lively and more visible café on the entry level.
