The new seven-story, 280,000-square-foot high school for the City of Chicago features a bold red, gray and white modulated façade that breaks up massing of the building. In addition to classrooms and science labs, the 1,200-student facility includes a college resource center, a large gym with a weight room, a six-lane swimming pool, visual and performing arts studios, underground staff parking and a professional-quality auditorium with a scene shop, dressing rooms and green rooms.
