The existing facility was constructed over a thirty-five year period and budget constraints required that a 1990 wing and a 1999 four-pod classroom addition remain intact. The existing wing contained a media center, classrooms and gymnasium. Since 190 feet separate these two structures, continuity required reconnecting the two with new construction. The “H” shaped plan re-orients the entrance with a new adjacency to the existing media center aligning public use and student core spaces along the front wing of the “H”. The rear wing connects with the new construction and carves out an interior plaza for outdoor dining with tiered seating space for up to 120 students.
