- 4,668 S.F. Lobby and Locker Rooms
The district spent four years working with the community and staff to plan for an expansion and renovation with the goal of meeting the needs of growing enrollment and providing future-focused learning opportunities to students.
The new ALAH High School project will be a drastic change for the growing district. With an all new High School building, the district will be able to expand and plan for the future. The space will have numerous flexible collaboration zones where students can work in groups or collaborate with other classrooms. Flexible furniture will be throughout the space, allowing for each classroom to have the capability to do all kinds of learning, whether that be individual or group projects.
Built in 1924, South Side Elementary is the oldest elementary facility in the Champaign School District. The original facility was designed during a time when children would walk to and from school, and aside from technological upgrades, few changes had been made to modernize the building since its original construction.
