The project illustrates a clear and consise program and organization within the structure. The intent is clear and the architectural expression is appropriate to the function of the program."
Balancing Site and Strategy
The unique shape of the site governed the design of the building. With Interstate 90 just south of the site, the building was designed with special sound-proofing materials. Noisier classrooms were purposefully positioned along the side of the building nearest the highway. The quieter spaces were placed along the opposite side. The physical site is adjacent to the high school, allowing students to easily navigate between buildings.
A Forward-Thinking Program
Modern, specialized laboratories introduce students to collegiate and real-world work environments while meeting the multi-disciplinary needs of college credit-bearing and workforce development programs.
Theatre and Graphic Arts
A unique black box theatre is integrated, specialized for dance, TV/video production, and theatre classes/performances. An adjacent graphic arts computer lab allows students to broaden their exposure beyond the typical "tech" curriculum.
