Remodeling Highlights Humboldt Senior High School is in the design process for building renovations to ensure its school buildings are able to meet the 21st century learning needs of students. The project will include two building additions:
- Break ground on project: June 2017; completion of project: August 2021
- Two, three-story additions will provide:
-
- One addition providing a "house" for the middle school students and relocate the main entry of the building to provide an identifiable entry adjacent to parking.
- The other addition will allow the right-sizing of learning spaces to support the existing student population. Each of these additions will be three stories.
- One addition providing a "house" for the middle school students and relocate the main entry of the building to provide an identifiable entry adjacent to parking.
- Part of the new main entry we will be modifying the site to provide an outdoor plaza adjacent to the entry for outdoor learning.
- The project also includes interior renovations to right-size classrooms; co-locate Career and Technical Education and Fine Arts programs to allow for greater collaboration; and relocate administration services directly adjacent to the main entry for a safe and secure entry.
REMODELING PLANNING PROCESS
To help inform the renovations, we have formed a School Design Committee made up of district and academic leaders, teachers, students, families, community members and key partners. Through the guidance of a Steering Committee, the School Design Committee will be collaborating with architects and engineers on the concept design for the project. To provide input on the renovations, the School Design Committee will participate in four workshops. The goals and activities of each workshop is outlined below along with meeting notes where available. Workshop 1: Where are we?
