This major capital upgrade initiative remade the secondary campus at Lower Moreland Township School District through the construction of a new high school, conversion of the original high school to a middle school, and establishment of a new outdoor plaza linking the two elements.

The centerpiece of the program is the new high school building serving 1,000 students in grades 9-12. Stepping down a heavily sloped site, the four-level building is organized with two entrances on grade: the main entrance at the uppermost floor and the community entrance at the lowest floor with parking shared to serve the building as well as an adjacent township park.

The building features a range of academics, arts, athletics, administration, student support, and outdoor learning spaces. A key element is the media center, centrally located within the circulation at the building’s core, and configured to support traditional library functions as well as all types of meetings and active learning practices. In lieu of a full auditorium (which is offered in the adjacent middle school), a black-box style theater with semi-flexible seating and full audio/video controls is outfitted to host events ranging from lectures to intimate music and drama performances. Many technology education spaces were also integrated – coinciding with the launch of several new programs – such as a fabrication lab, STEM lab, maker space, and audio/video studio. Interspersed throughout the building, these spaces feature abundant glass to showcase and amplify the action of learning throughout the building.
