Full design services of a 188,443 SF Catholic high school to serve 1,000 students with a curriculum focused on biotechnology. The building features a central chapel that creates a procession from the building’s main entrance through to the tabernacle. Wings serving the library and a theatre are angled inward to create the effect of a welcoming cloistered courtyard at the entrance. Wings serving the recreation and food service angle out in the rear of the building to embrace the wooded landscape.
