SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The building was sited adjacent to the existing high school which remained operational throughout construction. This was achieved while providing a completely new site circulation system in conjunction with new athletic facilities. The program called for the combining of the high school and middle schools into one facility for the sake of cost savings. Emphasis was placed on maximizing the shared facilities (Media Center, Auditorium, Music, Cafeteria/Kitchen, & Administration areas) while separating the student bodies to the maximum extent possible. Distinct Academic wings anchor the two ends of the facility. The Main Street concept connects these two wings while providing access to the multitude of shared spaces. The building serves as a focal point for this rural town, and was developed to break its massing down into an academic village setting, while being thoughtful of the areas rural setting.
