Cambria Heights High School Renovations

The design challenge for this project was to renovate the Cambria Heights School District’s High School, provide upgraded technology and MEP systems, and incorporate school spirit within the building design materials. The emphasis was to rethink the technology program and design a curriculum to support a STEAM environment that would be inviting to all students and become a central hub of technology education.

Renovations improved all of the learning environments. The design incorporated new breakout spaces throughout the building for collaborative learning. A centralized STEAM program was designed into the existing commons area of the building and all the learning spaces interact with this program.  A flexible open media center learning hub was designed to support collaborative learning in large and small groups.

A new cafeteria with a café type environment welcomes the students and staff into an open concept dining experience with seating at different height tables and bench style seating groupings.

The school’s athletic facilities and support spaces were renovated as well.
