• 900-student capacity
• 300-student Small Learning Communities (SLCs) that include student gathering / collaboration space adjacent to classrooms, technology resources, teacher work areas / support offices
• Innovation commons and design lab
• Culinary and industrial arts classrooms
• Sports fields, track, outdoor play area, and tennis courts
• Outdoor classrooms and community gardens

Construction is slated to be complete and the building open by fall 2025.
