Daviess County Public Schools acquired the services of RBS Design Group to bring new life into the existing Daviess County High School. This multiphased project focused heavily on rejuvenating the spaces used by the award-winning arts program.
The roof was elevated over the existing band room to improve acoustics, new equipment storage was installed, and three new practice rooms were added on the second story. The auditorium received a much needed facelift, including new carpet, new paint and a renovated sound and light booth area.
New flooring, new paint and bulkheads in the cafeteria and kitchen dramatically changed the look of the older space. A custom circulation desk was installed in the media center, and new carpet and paint gave it a fresh look.
A new bus canopy was installed to give the old exterior new life. A large paw print on the right side of the canopy helps direct visitors to the front office. New HVAC was installed throughout the entire building.
