This new 137,000 SF middle school replaces an aging 1950s facility with a modern, future-focused campus designed to elevate the educational experience for generations to come. Serving 900 students—with capacity for future expansion to 1,200—the school is part of a larger educational hub that includes an adjacent high school, library, and planned Career Center. The building is organized around a “neighborhood” concept, creating dedicated learning communities for each grade level that foster a sense of identity, belonging, and connection. Shared collaboration areas support both formal and informal learning, while the strategic arrangement of neighborhoods across two floors promotes operational efficiency and student engagement. Dedicated stairwells serving each upper-level neighborhood minimize cross-traffic and disruptions during class transitions, creating a calmer and more focused learning environment.
