The new  230,000 sq ft Great Crossing High School consists of  4 stories with distinct clusters for gymnasium, cafeteria, library, and classrooms.  The facility was situated into an existing hillside and cut through in-situ fill for best use of the site and to minimize earthwork costs.

​

Due to its size, floor and roof structures utilized fire rated assemblies.  The facility predominantly utilizes precast concrete hollow core plank and composite steel beam floor assemblies supported by a combination of concrete masonry bearing walls and steel frame.  The roof structure utilizes fireproofed steel beams and unprotected long-span steel joist where clear height exceeds 20 feet.  The gymnasium utilized a combination of long-span steel joist and heavy timber supported by a ring of structural steel trusses.  The lateral bracing system utilizes reinforced masonry shear walls.
