USD 375 | 2013 Bond Issue

Circle District, Kansas

After a successful patron-driven bond campaign, Gravity::Works began work on a design that would preserve the legacy of the iconic 1962 domed Circle High School while bringing it up to modern learning standards. The phasing for this project was particularly challenging due to the nature of razing, building new, and renovating an active high school site. While this plan involved a lot of strategic planning, it was ultimately the best solution for the District to maximize their investment.

The new space paired with strategic renovations provided a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen, gymnasium, and additional safety and security. We also created extended learning spaces, including the necessary space to support future growth.
