This new K-12 school for the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System consolidates four existing schools: an elementary, middle, high, school and a Career, Agricultural, and Technical Education (CATE) program. The new facility will accommodate 2,400 students in 435,000 SF, and is designed to serve as a hub of activity and a community icon for Garden City. The layout facilitates separation of grade levels while aligning the program to accommodate site constraints. Program spaces in the CATE building will include training spaces for business, culinary arts, aircraft maintenance, and maritime logistics.

The design takes its cues from historic Savannah’s built environment. The site currently houses the existing high school and CATE building; once construction is complete, those programs will relocate to the new facility and the original buildings will be demolished to make room for new athletic fields. The site layout for the 43 acre campus includes an extremely detailed safety and circulation plan for construction activities.
