Everything Is BIG In Texas

The new high school will also consist of small distributed media centers specific to each academy, along with individual teacher planning and resource areas. Each academy connects to a shared spine of spaces consisting of a black box theater, cafeteria, performing arts center, main media center, gymnasium and consolidated administration area located at the north and south entries of the facility. The organization of the facility allows for the creation of secured courtyards. The courtyards will be used for outdoor dining, learning, and gallery spaces. In considering the local climate, shaded areas are provided throughout the courtyard. Perkins+Will, in association with KAHickman Architects & Interior Designers, facilitated project programming and collaborative workshops with groups comprised of administrators, teachers, community members and stakeholders, students and parents. Concepts were developed to create a community learning center that will support the instruction models being developed in Round Rock.
