The school district’s objectives are based upon State Board of Education- approved Guiding Principles for the design & development of the Career Technical Education Standards. The expected program outcomes include 100% of enrolled students will complete an ROP certificate in Renewable Resources & Sustainable Living Program; 25% of students who complete the Program are expected to enter employment in a related industry, apprenticeship program, or military; and, 50% of students who complete the Program are expected to successfully transition into postsecondary institutions for more advanced study in applicable industry or related areas of study

The facility will include durable and movable wall spaces, a guardrail that also functions as a media display panel, natural day lighting strategies, and easily cleaned and maintained materials. Special considerations to acoustic integrity are obvious throughout the design. Water conserving measures have been incorporated whenever possible and solar panels oriented to maximize effectiveness will augment the cool roof.

Jurors said, “We like the inclusion of the small gathering areas in the center of the building, separate from the formal classroom spaces. This feature will likely draw students into the core of the building and keep them engaged. It’s a compact hard-working building that’s understated and well designed. They put a lot of program in a compact space. No square foot is left behind!”
