H. Allen Hight Learning Center

High performance, sustainable new school
The H. Allen Hight Learning Center is a high performance, sustainable new school project that combines a middle school and elementary school on the same site. The two schools share certain support facilities such as offices, library, food service, and large meeting spaces, as well as common areas of site improvement such as visitor parking and general landscaping.
