Central
York High School is a 325,000 SF complex that takes “Breaking Ranks” educational
principles and adapts them to an “Academy” structure that affords students
the opportunity for independent and team-oriented research in areas of interest
while still provinding core curricula. Since the completon of the school
in 2005, the District has experienced unprecedented growth and requires an
addition of 42,000 SF to provide more classroom space.
The addition is designed to continue to support the Academy structure and embraces the same sustainable approach as the existing building, which includes the utilization of a ground source heat pump heating and cooling system, daylighting strategies involving light and occupancy sensors, and low emitting and sustainable materials.
The District elects to, at the same time, add a 20,000 SF natatorium that includes an 8-lane competition class pool with movable bulkhead as well as supporting amenities to allow for accommodating District swim meets.
The existing Central York High School was completed by principals of SGA while employed by another firm.
