Beverly Hills High School - Science & Technology Center

Beverly Hills, California


Designed as a "Gateway" building and to provide Beverly Hills High School students with state-of-the-art facilities, the new Science Center connects the existing pastoral campus setting to the adjacent Century City high rise urban core. The new program will provide 78,000-square-feet of new facilities including 18 math classrooms, 12 science labs, a 100 student fixed seat lecture hall, faculty work areas, and a multi-purpose Educational Development Center for staff mentoring and teaming opportunities.

The buildings materials, colors, rhythms, and patterns are a direct response to the stucco and terra cotta of the existing building. These materials are incorporated in innovate ways such as through the use of terra cotta for the upper floor wall tiles as opposed to the traditional roofing finish. By taking this creative approach to architectural language and context the Science and Technology Center will achieve the stated client's goal of a new campus gateway with a forward looking identity.
