This new, 900-student Ninth Grade Center incorporates an expanded, renovated corridor to connect it to the existing high school. Each house within the Ninth Grade Center contains de-centralized administrative offices to promote smaller learning communities and a more personalized connection between students and staff. Classrooms and corridors incorporate abundant natural light and student & teacher collaboration spaces to promote proactive, interactive learning through team teaching. The new Ninth Grade Center also showcases a centralized Administration Suite with secured vestibule at the main entrance. The center’s Learning Hub offers an open, adaptable and agile space to function as a media center, cafeteria and collaborative learning environment. The Learning Hub wraps around a centralized campus courtyard that integrates the Ninth Grade Campus into the overall site and gives students and teachers an opportunity for outdoor learning activities.
