![](/media/com_rta_portfolios/images/placeholder-slide.png)
Why
After completing the original addition and renovation of Hinkly High School in 2007, RTA was again retained by Aurora Public Schools to design a classroom addition and building renewal to enable the school to meet the needs of their growing population.
How
RTA conducted several DAG meetings and collaborated closely with the District to determine the appropriate strategy and location for the classroom addition.
What
The design provides a solution for the security of the courtyard, ties circulation together at the north end of the building to improve functionality, and provides spaces for the career pathway programs including bio medical, engineering, and science classes.The renovations and addition include an eight-classroom addition, replacement of boilers and RTUs at the pool area, and renewal which includes security cameras, locker replacement, locker room floor replacement, and auditorium acoustic and A/V improvements.
