Project 2
Replacing overcrowded, inflexible, and outdated Physical Education facilities to meet evolving student needs.
The Imagine Plan calls for the second project to replace a significant portion of the century-old Physical Education spaces where virtually all students learn daily. The Imagine Group’s research exposed the many ways these facilities are insufficient, inflexible, overcrowded, and outdated. They no longer meet students’ needs.
Project 2 will tear down the southeast corner of the existing building (east of the field house) and replace it with a new five-level Physical Education (PE) facility (four stories plus basement). In addition to serving as classrooms during the day, most spaces will be used before and after school for extracurricular activities. That is also true of the Performing Arts Green Room and associated spaces that are renovated, expanded, and replaced in Project 2.
