| The comprehensive modernization of Grover Cleveland High School integrates an extensive new building program into an historic 1960’s campus, resulting in a 21st century learning environment that respects its modernist roots while strengthening campus life. The scope includes the construction of seven new buildings for general classrooms, science labs, food service and dining, performing arts, child care, and campus support services, and the modernization of two general classroom buildings and gym. New construction more than doubles the building area on campus.
The placement of the new buildings creates an enlarged all-school quad to serve as the heart of the campus as its “outdoor living room”, providing for serendipitous social interaction and extracurricular activities that enrich campus life.
The design solution focuses on balancing the tenets of biophilic design with considerations driven by the imperatives of sustainability.
