A thoughtful update to Henrico County Public Schools’ high school design to create parity between educational facilities across the district and a carefully choreographed phased construction plan on a tight timeline moved J.R. Tucker High School into the 21st century. The updated design considered the many ways that the interior spaces needed to support several of the county’s specialty programs. The design team captured additional square footage on the second floor above the culinary arts lab and serving lines to meet rising capacity needs without changing the building footprint. Flexible and multipurpose design criteria shaped the advancement of the prototype with a vertically connected library through the learning stair and extended learning spaces throughout the building.
