In 2015 the MZA was hired to develop a master plan for expanding the charter school’s facility from one with capacity for a single freshman class to a true 9-12 campus housing 1100 students. The school occupied a single story 1960’s building that had seen a number of additions throughout the decades resulting in a disparate series of partially connected buildings. The architect’s master plan yielded a multiphase design that stitched the buildings together with a new three-story South Wing. An interior courtyard was created to serve as the new heart of the campus, providing daylighting and interior views from the new common areas and classrooms. The existing buildings were retrofitted with new mechanical and fire suppression systems and the site’s stormwater design upgraded from its nonexistent mid-century state.
