- Modernization and Addition
In 2009, a major project was completed to expand and modernize Shadle Park High School. Designed to serve 1,600 students and accommodate a vigorous career and technical education program, the project was conceived as a modernization with minor remodeling of the 1994 gym and new additions. Designed by NAC Architecture, the project retained, modernized and renovated the original 1957 building (202,969 square feet) and its recent addition (14,945 square feet), removed the portable classrooms and provided approximately 49,350 square feet in new construction. The total new size of Shadle Park High School is 267,264 square feet.
