Amherst County Public Schools sought to create a new 1,400 seat auditorium for theater productions, band concerts, student assemblies and community functions. The auditorium addition would include adjacent band, choral and black box classroom, student hall of fame, new toilet rooms, concessions and storage. The entrance commons would also serve as a new dining hall serving 400 students and as a large group collaboration space.
The existing kitchen and dining room will be converted into a new kitchen with food court, and 4 world language classrooms. The existing auditorium will be converted into 3 classrooms and a new Nursing CTE lab and classroom. Additional CTE renovations include the culinary lab/classroom, new cosmetology lab/classroom, expansion of the welding lab/classroom and creation of a new horticulture and small animal care lab/classroom.
