New high school featuring learner-centered environments and career and technical education

AHBL provided civil engineering, land use planning, landscape architecture, and survey services for the $149M, 210,000 SF Thomas Jefferson High School replacement project, which houses 1,600 students. The new design emphasizes a learner-centered environment featuring learning communities with shared spaces for interdisciplinary education and hands-on learning. Classrooms are organized around open stairs and study areas, creating a collegiate atmosphere that fosters camaraderie and community among students. The project also features a courtyard focused on career and technical education (CTE). The CTE courtyard offers a flexible space for hands-on outdoor learning. Civil engineering plans included site and utility demolition, grading, and storm drainage, while landscape architecture services covered planting, irrigation, and pedestrian paving, with survey work supporting new parking lot improvements.
