Seacoast Collegiate High School at NWFSC Expansion Project

A college-inspired, active setting with resources for high school students and spaces that promote and instill lifelong learning.

A collaborative environment for students and faculty to engage formally and informally including flexible classroom space with the latest technology.

Seacoast is an asset to the community by serving more students and fostering a vibrant community setting for civic activity and discourse.

The Accelerator is an entrepreneurial center for the community, civic entities, and school events. In addition, it is a flexible lab, collaboration, and community interaction space - a commons building and hub for campus gatherings. 

The atmosphere feels like a college and not a high school. There's openness, transparency, and flow between spaces with green space, open walkways, and interconnected buildings. 

The classrooms are full of natural light creating vibrant, inviting, and engaging spaces that encourage collaboration and interaction. 

Success is measured by students wanting to hangout in the building to interact, study, and engage.

The campus is safe and secure, but inviting with an open concept. It blends effective security provisions into the overall design strategy. 

Pursue practical green building and wellness design and construction methods.

It is important that students are not inside all day. There's a relationship and flow to the indoor and outdoor spaces with outdoor educational space, green space, and event space for events such as graduation and concerts. In addition, there are natural, daylit spaces throughout with interactive views.

It is important for people to know where Seacoast is located. It needs to be recognizable and seen from 331. 

Seacoast is to be identifiable as separate from the college, yet one unified campus with different interconnected buildings including a community space. 

The long term vision is to master plan the site so future growth can be accommodated. 

We want to be forward looking and forward thinking with a plan for now and years to come.
