Guntersville High School – Guntersville, AL

The new Guntersville High School is a 125,000-square-foot facility associated parking and site improvements. Beyond the academic wings, the facility includes a performing arts auditorium and advanced fine arts spaces, all unified by a building envelope that maximizes natural lighting and energy efficiency. With the main academic building complete, the final phase of the master plan involves the demolition of the old high school to make room for expanded athletic facilities and additional classrooms, slated for completion by the summer.
