Laurel Oaks Career Campus

Situated next to a public air park, the Laurel Oaks Career Campus originally consisted of two main buildings separated by an open plaza. The buildings had multiple entrances, with no clear primary entry. They were difficult to navigate, and students and staff had to go outside to get to their other classes. The absence of dedicated corridors to individual rooms caused congestion and interruptions in lab spaces.

The project sought to connect the two buildings and create a cohesive campus identity that was consistent with the school’s mission. Enclosing the plaza area and creating a new main entrance has unified the two buildings. The new “Connector” entry provides a more organized pickup and drop-off area for students as well as additional parking. Adding north and south corridors creates better accessibility and organized flow between lab spaces.
