Brooke High School is a 93,000 SF school that is home to 600 students in grades 9-12 and 180 students in an Eighth Grade Academy. The client's design objective was to create a building where students can be proud to come each day to learn and achieve. As you enter the building, you are greeted by a grand hall with a focal staircase that draws students and faculty into the school. Ribboning forms and linear graphics guide students and faculty through the school in a cohesive, colorful way. Strong connections between interior and exterior spaces, including a large south-facing courtyard, promote views of nature and bring an abundance of natural light into the interior spaces. 

Durability, sustainability, and cost control were critical in achieving the client's goals of a budget-conscious project with an engaging student environment. Student spaces include a variety of indoor and outdoor learning environments for students to learn. Specialty spaces such as an art room, music lab, and maker spaces foster creative learning environments for students. Each of the 38 classrooms is named after colleges or universities to excite and encourage students to pursue their dreams. The 650-seat auditorium incorporates playful acoustical ceiling panels and complimentary school colors to create a unique space for students to learn, listen, and engage. As part of the interior design, graphic signage enhances the school's vision and mission in the form of colorful graphic messaging throughout. The final product is a place where students and families can think, dream big, and see the possibilities for themselves.
