Firelands Local School District’s new 106,000 SF high school was programmed and designed on the district’s existing 130-acre site. Although designed as a high school, joint administration space serves both middle and high school staff. In addition to physical education spaces and student dining services, the building houses a full range of high school academic core spaces, extended learning areas, and STEM production labs designed in conformance with the 21st Century Classroom Design paradigm.
