Marco Antonio Firebaugh High School

Lynwood, California

Planned in conjunction with the existing John Ham Park, this new 158,000-sq.-ft. high school facility, housing approximately 1,600 students on the former 14.8-acre John Ham City Park site. Joint-use for City of Lynwood and school district functions was the primary development guide for the campus site plan. Public joint-use facilities, such as the new performing arts center, gymnasium, play fields, and community multi-purpose room. Educationally, the program is clustered in to four distinct academic villages. Included within each village are classrooms, computer labs, teacher work areas, and conference rooms. Linking the campus elements together are a central student quad, and the "Walk of Achievement". The walk links the main public functions and is provided with information markers to highlight the achievements of significant individuals in the community.
