The complete campus provides fine arts, science, career and technical education and academic facilities, including a competition sports gymnasium and full theatre integrated around a central circular core. Competition gymnasium roof utilized a 194 foot span, 10 foot deep double arched custom joist system, field spliced at mid-span.
