During Fall 2024, outside consultants conducted a comprehensive assessment of AHS' school buildings and site. Several broad themes emerged:
|
Safety & Security - AHS buildings lack secure entire sequences. Building segments cannot be isolated in case of emergency. There is poor vehicle traffic flow & queuing. |
![building conditions](https://www.arrowheadschools.org/facilities/BuildingConditions.jpg) |
Building Conditions - AHS faces nearly $53 million in accumulated 10-year capital maintenance costs. Key components like mechanical systems, electrical equipment and plumbing are at or over their life expectancy. |
![undersized spaces](https://www.arrowheadschools.org/facilities/UndersizedSpaces.jpg) |
Undersized Spaces - The pool, theater, cafeterias and gym are undersized for AHS’ enrollment. Many classrooms are undersized and lack flexible furniture. |
![inefficiencies](https://www.arrowheadschools.org/facilities/Inefficiency.jpg) |
Inefficiency - AHS’ two building structure has lead to duplicate spaces. Classroom including Music and Career & Technical Education classrooms are duplicated at the North and South buildings. |
![modern learning](https://www.arrowheadschools.org/facilities/ModernLearning.jpg) |
Modern Learning - Both AHS buildings lack many characteristics of today’s high schools: collaboration space; natural light; transparency between spaces; flexibility. These features help foster creativity, innovation, communication, problem solving and critical thinking skills. |
