[edit] History

The school opened in the 1997-1998 school year as part of the Redlands Unified School District. Located in a small town near the San Bernardino Mountains of California. It is one of two high schools in the district, the other being Redlands High School.

Redlands East Valley High School is a 264,000-square-foot comprehensive high school located on a 57-acre sloping site. Designed to house 2,500 students, the school includes administration facilities, media center, theater/performing-arts facility, multipurpose facility, gymnasium, fine-arts building and various specialized educational classrooms. Site improvements include a pool facility, track/football field, tennis courts, basketball courts, and baseball and softball fields. Designing a new high school for a client whose community shares a magnificent history of pride and tradition was an incredible challenge. The participatory design process included school-board members, administrative staff, teachers, students, parents, maintenance staff and community members.

A key element in the design was the focus on the media center and its application of technology. As the use of technology has become more integrated into the educational delivery process, it was natural to view the media center as the hub of the campus in concept and in practical use. When entering the campus, one immediately understands the importance of the media center and its relationship to the campus. A primary circulation path that circles the media center leads visitors to all the major facilities.


The campus imagery reflects a serious academic setting constructed of timeless and durable materials. Concrete masonry, exposed structural steel, glass and metal roofs make up the majority of the building exteriors. Many practical considerations, such as security, use of buildings after hours, circulation of students and daily operational issues led to the physical layout of the building spaces. However, the entire campus is held together by the exterior use of space and clear organization.
