With the help of a $120 million bond program, Lansing School District has carried out several projects to improve district-wide technology, program focus, security, and atmosphere. Under this program, Everett High School saw major transformations.

The first phase replaced the windows throughout the building’s three-story educational wing. In the second phase, an extensive remodel of the visual and performing arts center, stage, lobby, piano lab, and cafeteria met all-new band, dance, scene shop, and art rooms throughout the interior. Former art rooms were adapted into new video production space. Material selections use shapes, volumes, and patterns to evoke creativity and inspire movement without sacrificing durability.

Mechanical system alterations included the boiler, unit ventilator, cooling tower, and pump replacements. The auditorium’s HVAC equipment had been in the basement; but the new HVAC equipment is much larger. With the help of C2AE’s structural engineers, the team found a suitable location on the roof.

Outside, a new courtyard leads into the performing arts center through a secure entry vestibule. The design blends existing architecture with new elements to add vibrancy. A canopy addition, for example, completely reinvents the building’s façade without dramatically altering its structure.
