Constructed in 1953, this 2,000-student, 243,000 sf school was in need of upgrades and expansion for its growing student population, with particular attention paid to the safety of the building systems.

The renovations and addition were part of a $292 million bond measure for capital improvements throughout the district. Glumac provided mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design, in addition to energy modeling for the project. The work included a new two-story classroom wing with extensive CTE spaces for new computer graphics, video production, computer science, journalism, drawing, ceramics, maker space, and engineering programs; the expansion of the lunchroom-area, so the students could eat in one space; a new physical education space; relocating the main office to the front of the school for increased security; adding restrooms; and the elimination of eight portable classrooms.

The Glumac energy team paid special attention to the mechanical and lighting systems, resulting in more than 30% fan energy savings and 50% lighting energy savings, compared to the Oregon code baseline.
