Sarasota High School

Client: School Board of Sarasota County
Market: K-12 Education
Project Area: 154,000 sq. ft.

Harvard Jolly was challenged with modernizing this 1950’s era educational structure, while maintaining the historic aspects of the existing architecture. Two monumental buildings on the National Historic Registry are being renovated into 21st century learning centers to provide the educators and students with access to latest technology and educational pedagogy. A new Global Learning Center and Cafeteria are located in the center of the campus and are adjacent to each other. This provides the students with a café experience where they can use the latest technology and enjoy lunch at the same time. The project also included a new gymnasium and art center which flank the new social network plaza. There is a unique but flowing balance between the historic aspects of the architecture and the technology-rich educational spaces that allow the students to appreciate and experience both aspects on a daily basis.
