A phased 30-month schedule allowed portions of the original school to remain open during construction. New systems were built around existing ones while crews navigated parallel utilities and reactivated life safety systems.

A curved building footprint serves as more than just an architectural feature, purposefully created to wrap around the original building, which temporarily housed students during construction. But this shape also resulted in multiple constructibility challenges, including complex layout transitions, structural tie-ins and envelope detailing, which were resolved in the field.

First, the team converted a decommissioned portion of the building into a temporary facility, then crews rebuilt half the campus while preserving four legacy structures: two gyms, a pool and an auditorium. Once the new facility was complete, students transitioned into the new space before the remaining original structures were demolished.
