The primary goal of the project was to facilitate the conversion of the existing complex into a full-time comprehensive high school. The evaluation of existing uses within the buildings juxtaposed to the newly developed educational program criteria resulted in a highest and best use plan. Similar programs were grouped and spatially related to other educational programs to take advantage of existing special use spaces such as science and lab areas. Core facilities such as the library, gym, performing arts and cafeteria were centrally located for easy access and interior circulation reduction. Students spend less time traveling between classes and more time in class. Circulation was simplified and enhances a comfortable atmosphere.
