Common spaces such as the cafetorium and gymnasium are adjacent to the classroom levels so the different grade levels can access them without disturbing other classes.

Portsmouth JR-HS

Portsmouth City Schools passed a bond issue to construct a new Junior/Senior High School to update their facilities and accommodate their growing population. This project was one of three new school buildings the school district constructed as part of the overall project. The square footage of the total project was 390,000 SF, and the total cost for the large-scale project was $55.2 million.

As with many educational projects, the most significant challenge was designing a project that was within budget, functional, and met all of the Ohio School Facility Commission’s (OSFC) programming requirements. In addition, this project had to overcome the obstacle of combining a junior high and high school into one building. Although both schools were in one facility, each area had to be useful for the different grade levels.

This project was extremely important to the design and construction team because most of the contractors on this project graduated from Portsmouth City Schools. They took tremendous pride and ownership in the project, which was one of the factors that led to such a great facility. The Portsmouth Junior/Senior High School became the first OSFC-funded project to receive the Grand Prize from School Planning & Management’s Education Design Showcase. The Grand Prize is awarded each year to the school design that best meets the needs of its educational program.
