The Project is the first of two phases of a multi-school campus. The entire complex is on a grid neutral site and is targeted to be the highest scoring CHPS project in the State. Phase 1 includes a K-5 elementary school, a multi-use Great Room, Community Health Clinic, TV studio, and the District IT Data Center. Phase 2 will deliver a high school and a child development center. All three schools are integrated into one complex but each maintains its own identity with separate designated entryways.
High performance sustainability was a primary driver of the design with all aspects of sustainability being highly visible. The project aggressively utilized CHPS criteria to establish the entire campus as a teaching tool through its responsible design and resource use. The new campus has become a source of great pride for its users and has been a key part of a community transformation.
