Description The Auburn School District’s new High School No. 4 will be an airy, spacious facility, organized around a central student commons, and flanked by two wings, when completed in 2005. An administrative and academic wing will be located to the south, and an activities and technology wing to the north. The facility’s H-shaped plan is intended to maximize natural lighting into as many educational spaces as possible. In addition, the H-shape will provide students and staff with a smaller, more comfortable sense of scale. Rather than relying on a large, block-like centralized facility, this building design will allow for simple, gabled roofs over the majority of the buildings. The main entrance of the school will be centered on the south façade, with architectural elements that create a spacious and welcoming impression. The two-story brick building is being built on a 40-acre site, and will accommodate 1,500 students. When finished, the new high school will be 195,000 square feet, and include a variety of up-to date facilities.
Improvements under construction include 31 general classrooms, six computer labs, a career center, a 400-seat auditorium, a 600-seat cafeteria with a full-service kitchen, main and auxiliary gymnasiums, a field house, a green house, and several sports fields and tennis courts.
