The new middle school includes over 125,000 square feet of 21st-century learning environments including collaborative spaces and classrooms.

The new facility is comprised of three wings of classrooms for each grade (sixth through eighth) that flows into a large commons area for collaboration between the grades. The commons area also includes the cafeteria, kitchen, labs, gymnasium, art studios and music room access.

Additions to the middle school included a 16,395 square foot performing arts center. The new performing arts center includes 716 seats, a mezzanine for future AV expansion and over 140 drywall ceiling clouds hanging in the seating area for acoustical support.  Perfect coordination was required to ensure the wall panels and light fixtures lined up with ceiling clouds.
