Evergreen High School

The 214,000 square foot replacement of Evergreen High School includes a three-story academic building and two-story activity building. The story of Evergreen High School’s redevelopment is interwoven between people and place. The place is a bucolic landscape that has been sculpted over time by glaciers, erosion, and human development. The site is characterized by a relatively natural yet urban setting that includes undulating landscape surfaces, mature trees, structured playfields, and Lakewood County Park.

The design seeks to develop a safe place nestled into the elegant site; welcoming entries that provide shelter and support security for all; engaging public spaces that encourage community gathering; differentiated spaces that support diverse social and academic activities and interactions; quiet spaces that enhance collaboration and individual focus; learning neighborhoods that support rigorous learning and personalized connections between students and adults; flexible layouts that support evolving pedagogies; and visible learning that inspires exploration and critical thinking.
