Gunnison High School & Pathways Building

 
     
 

Overview of Needs: With significant upgrades completed in 2010, the high school facility generally meets the needs of students and the community. Enrollment growth projections are expected to be supported by existing facilities into the near future. However, health and security standards, as well as growth in programmatic needs around STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) and vocational education would be addressed.

Safety: Improvements have been recommended at the main building entry to improve visibility with minor modifications to the existing entry vestibule to allow for better screening of visitors before they can gain access to the building.

Overcrowding/Programming Expansion: Through a continued effort to serve the community with relevant programs, the Pathways Center needs to expand. The proposed expansion would include a Culinary Arts program complete with space to host events and cater groups all through the school program. A new Healthcare Lab provides space for career education centered around the growing healthcare industry. And finally, an expanded facility provides a permanent home for the Outdoor Recreation program including classroom, storage and staging space that is both secure and accessible. These programs would expand existing district vocational programming in the construction sciences, cosmetology, and architecture.

Maintenance: School energy improvements such as improving the GHS kitchen building envelope, adding occupancy sensors to conserve electricity, replacing portions of flooring, and other necessary maintenance items are included in the project.

CULINARY DINING/ BANQUET/ CONFERENCE SPACE

CULINARY DINING/ BANQUET/ CONFERENCE SPACE

A dynamic and multi-purpose space can provide many functions to the school and to the district. This can be used for the students to learn how to run a restaurant. Impromptu or planned collaboration can happen throughout the day. After hours the space can generate revenue by renting it out for meetings or other community events. With a few modifications to the furniture layout, this space can be a convenient and spacious location for a board meeting. A coffee/concessions bar provides an opportunity for student run programs as well as an amenity for students and staff.

OUTDOOR EDUCATION CLASSROOM & STORAGE

OUTDOOR EDUCATION CLASSROOM & STORAGE

A new facility will be provided for the outdoor education program. A flexible layout will provide opportunities for hands on learning with a great connection to outside. The flexible classroom is immediately adjacent to the Outdoor Education equipment storage to support educational needs and provide a gear staging space.


Immediately adjacent to the classroom will be the outdoor education storage room. This space will take advantage of high open ceilings to optimize storage for all of the equipment that the program provides.  There are plans to furnish the space with high density storage units to create an efficient storage environment. Additionally, a work bench will be available to maintain the equipment and provide another learning opportunity for the students.

HEALTH SERVICES LAB & FLEX CLASSROOM

HEALTH SERVICES LAB & FLEX CLASSROOM

The Health Services Lab will provide the students with two health care simulation stations, a pharmacy and a lecture space that can accommodate 16 students. Adjacent to the Health Services Lab will be a flexible classroom with an operable wall separating the spaces. This will allow the space to almost double in size to accommodate larger groups or allow users to comfortably spread out within the space.
