Central York High School
New High School
Springettsbury Township, PA
Construction complete August 2005
Central York High School is a 325,000 SF complex that takes “Breaking Ranks” educational principles and adapts them to an “Academy” structure. The academy structure provides a traditional high school experience for the ninth and tenth grade students while offering the option to attend one of four career academies to eleventh and twelfth grade students.
This structure affords the student the opportunity for independent and team-oriented research in areas of interest while still providing core curricula. Although the design embraces a sustainable approach, including the utilization of a ground source heat pump heating and cooling system, daylighting strategies with light and occupancy sensors, waterless urinals, building orientation, and low emitting and sustainable materials, the District elected not to pursue a LEED rating.
