Located on a hill leading up to campus, the new 73,000 sf STEAM facility features an abundance of windows that stream natural light and provide sweeping views of the surrounding natural elements. A new entryway leads visitors into an open lobby with a grand amphitheater used for school-wide gatherings and public functions. The lobby also offers students the comforts of home, with a living room and space to lounge in front of a fireplace. The interior is accented in school colors (red and gray) and warmed with wood features throughout. The new auditorium/performing arts center is the central hub of learning and can transition into a multi-functional hack-space for project work, presentations and critiques. Laboratories and maker-spaces which supports sound design, video production and robotics curriculums surround the auditorium. Learning spaces encourage collaboration and design thinking, and provide opportunities to practice a variety of STEAM trades, like welding, digital design, and audiovisual works.
