CTE space at Auburn Washburn High School

Renovations to the existing CTE suites and classroom space also took place. Additionally, the project features a JRTOC shooting range and a greenhouse which was built into the envelope of the second floor.

This was an extensive renovation with three summers of work, so the McCownGordon team worked closely with the school to phase the project in the most efficient way possible. The team prioritized safety and communication with students, staff and visitors throughout the occupied renovation.
