The whole site modernization project at Morse High School includes improvements to support student health, safety and security, school accessibility, building system repair and replacement and creating a quality neighborhood school for an underserved community. It supports the school district’s objective of developing a campus supportive of high academic goals and establishing a desirable community asset that fits seamlessly into the neighborhood.

The $35.5 million project includes the construction of a new 19,000 sf Performing Arts Center serving the campus and community, a new 12,000 sf Administration Building and a renovation to the existing Gymnasium and Locker Room Building. It also includes reconfiguration of the internal campus Quad and outdoor spaces incorporating accessibility compliance and reconfiguration of the campus drop-off sequence, parking and pedestrian access. The project will be a CHPS (Collaborative for High Performance Schools) Designed campus, promoting sustainable features into the design.
