Bond Architects worked with Ladue Schools to transform Ladue Horton Watkins High School. Two new additions, as well as impactful renovations, reimagined the existing building and achieved Energy Star Certification. With the demolition of the 44,000 SF west wing, it clearly established a new hierarchy for the campus. This provided an appropriate location for the new 140,000 SF wing, allowing the reoriented campus to better accommodate student vehicular and pedestrian traffic into the campus.
As part of the renovation and addition, a new STEM wing was added to fully integrate Engineering and Project-Lead-The-Way classrooms adjacent to the lab/lecture classrooms. This is intended to foster collaboration on projects that cross multiple aspects of the curriculum.
