Castaic High School Gymnasium
Castaic, California
The Castaic High School Gymnasium is anchored at the perimeter of the campus to enable joint public use and create a single point of entry for safety and security. The orientation of the building frames the preserved vista of Romero Canyon, which influenced the biophilic material selections like textured split-face block that reflects the weathering of the land. Natural amber hues and fauna indigenous to the area celebrate the school brand, the Castaic Coyotes.
The design of the gymnasium introduces motion and energy through vibrant color on walls and floors, custom graphics, acoustical wall paneling and exposed wide flange steel beams that are powder coated in charcoal as a nod to the geology in the area.
A truly agile learning environment was developed for students to thrive. This includes team rooms, locker rooms, private showers, two basketball courts, rollout bleachers that can seat more than 1,000 people, weight room and dance studios. Daylighting is maximized through high-performance translucent building systems at the perimeter of the façade. It boosts engagement, student health and emotional wellness.
