Byron Center High School had been growing exponentially and needed to expand its space to add classrooms, labs, and areas for improved circulation. This project transformed the existing building with a significant addition and renovation. Additional classrooms, a fitness center, and an expanded cafeteria gave students much-needed space to learn and develop holistically. By increasing the number of small group spaces, large group spaces, and by refreshing classroom finishes, the school now has cohesive, modern, and flexible learning spaces for all students. The project also relocated the media center into the new two-story addition, which freed up space for a new administration wing to take its place. The renovations changed site circulation, bus loading, car loading, and parking lot locations to provide a more efficient and safe traffic pattern.
This project was phased and required the construction of new building portions before the renovation of others. This enabled students to move through the building and keep the school operating while under construction.
