Swinerton provided general contracting services for the campuswide modernization of the high school. The multi-phase project consisted of a 254,000-square-foot renovation and the construction of a new 25,000-square-foot auxiliary gymnasium.
Phase 1 was completed during Spring and Summer 2020 when students were out of school. Nearly every classroom was modernized, including the incorporation of school colors and finishes to give the entire building a cohesive modern look. The scope included a locker room demolition/buildout, flooring demolition/replacement, and new interior finishes within public spaces.
Phase 2 consisted of the construction of a new auxiliary gym and a new main entrance. Work included site preparation, relocation of the existing storm and sewer systems, installation of new site utilities, and upgrades to the south parking lot.
Phase 3 consisted of the demolition and construction of a new large canopy at the school’s main entrance. The canopy provides shade for seating and socializing. Enhancements were also made to the front office and a new secured vestibule was added to provide state-of-the-art monitoring capabilities for the office staff and school security.
