Project 1
Renovating outdated facilities to create modern, collaborative, and accessible learning spaces.
The Imagine Plan called for the first project to create a welcoming and safe hub in the heart of the building where students can gather, collaborate, and study before, during, and after the school day. The focus was on modernizing learning environments and making the school more welcoming, accessible, and secure, by renovating and replacing outdated facilities that did not meet the needs of 21st Century learning.
