Best K-12 Education: Tech Is All Aboard at Nautical-Themed School
This $73.9-million high school provides a technology-rich learning environment for 1,496 students. It was built over a three-year period next to an existing high school, which was demolished when the new 247,136-sq-ft school opened. Athletic fields were constructed on the space opened up by the older school's demolition.
The building is structured with programmatic elements linked along a central corridor as part of the architect's "Main Street" concept. A media center anchors an academic classroom core on the east end, while art, music and technology education classrooms provide a schematic counterweight for the structure on the west side.
