A student-centered campus
Hawthorne High School is located at the northwest corner of El Segundo Boulevard and Inglewood Avenue and is one of three high school campuses within the Centinela Valley Union High School District. The scope of work for the Phase 1 project includes demolishing existing buildings that were over 50 years old and reorganizing parking areas, natural landscape area, and underground site utilities. The construction of new buildings includes the Student Services and Counseling Center, Media Center, Science Center, and the School of Engineering Academy.
The campus reorganization takes into account the whole notion of a campus that is student centered. The creation of a main student gathering space is defined by the radial gateway and shade shelters (in an upcoming phase) and having all of the buildings organized in a way that supports that notion.
