Nestled in one of the fastest-growing regions of the Charlotte Metro area, Indian Land High School combines innovative architecture with future-focused education. Accommodating 2,000 students, the two-story facility offers a vibrant atmosphere that encourages students’ enthusiasm for learning and brings to life a comprehensive, standards-based curriculum.
The expansive commons area welcomes students and visitors, leading them past the double-height administration suite, auditorium entrance, and dining area. This path is accentuated by the circular media center that hovers above.
Dynamic, multiuse spaces encourage students’ overall development. The Career and Technology Building is an incubator for the next generation of professionals, hosting courses in automotive technology, agriculture science, JROTC, and vocational life skills. The school also offers expansive areas for arts and athletics, including a 1,000-seat auditorium and a 2,000-seat gymnasium.
An enclosed courtyard provides a secure environment for learning, dining, and socializing while also funneling natural light into the building. Sustainable features throughout the design enabled the school to achieve LEED Silver certification.
