Program
This project encompasses a 16,632 square foot, nine classroom expansion to the existing high school. Architecture of the new addition was matched to the existing school. Aluminum store front corridor glazing system looks to the east into the valley below. The addition to the south end of the high school was a complete blend and enhancement to the existing high school.

Two of the classrooms are nursing classes with one class being a cooperative program with the Gila County Community College system. This lab is equipped with four side by side hospital beds. Head boards, side boards, end tables, eating trays, wall mounted lights above bed, and cubicle curtains.

All emulate hospital room conditions for teaching. The room is equipped with a therapeutic spa, demonstration desk, and computer work stations. A toilet room is provided oversized for teaching handicap maneuverability with grab bars etc.

Another one of the classrooms is a general science room with demonstration table, fume hood, eye wash, sinks at perimeter of room, and seven four-person work station surfaces with all integral electric and data.
