The Flagler County (Fla.) district is expanding Matanzas High School in Palm Coast, Fla.
The $17.5 million project will enable the school to accommodate an additional 366 students, reports the Palm Coast Observer.
A two-story 20,000-square-foot addition will connect to the school's Building 5. It will house a construction lab with classrooms on the ground floor and a media center and digital art lab on the second floor.
The existing media center in Building 4 will be converted to additional cafeteria space and a classroom. The existing construction lab will be converted to standard classrooms.
A second new building will house physical education and athletics; it will be north of the athletic fieldhouse.
The construction lab will have an enclosed outdoor area with a canopy that will provide room for major construction projects. The second-floor media center will include floor-to-ceiling windows on the backside of the building.
The expansion is set to be completed in August 2024.
SchenkelShulz Architecture is the architect.
