TSKP STUDIO's provided design services for this regional technical high school requiring a phased plan of renovation and expansion to accommodate 800 students. The design solution allows the school to be occupied during construction. The school gains an addition to the North and a Canopy to the west, with a strong linear gesture parallel to the street allows sufficient queuing space for the buses and a new and updated presence to the public. Demolition of an obsolete wing of the school will expand the existing courtyard. This courtyard, surrounded by the cafeteria, academic wing, shop wing, and the new library / media center, will be the interior focus for the school. The shop wing will receive an addition to the North, which is linked to the academic wing via a second story pedestrian bridge. This bridge completes the circulation loop around the school and the courtyard.
Natural light is abundant in the school with the use of skylights and transparent planes of glass that frame the exterior of the building. Exterior sunshades, composed of perforated metal will moderate the heat load. The will be upgraded with more energy efficient systems.
