This new high school included the complete reconstruction of the existing site and the creation of a new award winning state-of-the-art sports complex where a former intermediate school building was demolished. The integration of the site design with the new building is the fruition of an inspiring collaboration between Warner Larson and DRA Architects.
The design meets complex circulation needs while preserving a substantial greenspace buffer between the school and surrounding community. The athletic fields and protected mature trees within the developed areas make up a large portion of this buffer, and the conservation areas to the west and north preserve 24 acres of natural woodland.
