Building 1 at Gulf High School in New Port Richey, Florida, was replaced and expanded into a two-story facility designed to accommodate 1,700 student stations and eliminate the use of portables. Site improvements include a redesigned parent drop-off loop, expanded student and teacher parking, dedicated bus queuing, and the installation of air-cooled chillers with a new central energy plant. The design draws inspiration from the Gulf Coast setting and nautical themes. It incorporates maritime elements such as driftwood textures, ship planking, portholes and metal bulkheads.
