Davie County High School is a new, 329,000 sf facility based on a prototype design, which SKA worked on during the design process since 2009. Celebrating its groundbreaking in September 2014, construction began on the vertical structure in February 2015 and was complete in 2016.
The new school, serving grades 9-12, provides open, collaborative learning environments, expanding the capacity to nearly 2,000 students. Over a decade in the making, the new single and three-story mix facility is centrally located in the county and replaced the existing school due to overcrowding. Spaces include an auditorium, practice gym, and state-of-the-art classrooms. Designed to be environmentally friendly, strategies such as energy efficient systems, green roofs, and various LEED design concepts are included. SKA was the structural engineer of record (SER).
