Arizona <strong>Best</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>2004</strong><br />
<strong>Southwest</strong> Contractor <strong>Best</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>2004</strong> Education K-12 Project<br />
Boulder Creek High School<br />
Just a few short years ago, there wasn’t<br />
much need for a new school in the<br />
Anthem Community, 20-mi. north <strong>of</strong><br />
downtown Phoenix.<br />
Of course, just a few short years ago,<br />
the community consisted <strong>of</strong> coyotes,<br />
rabbits and a whole lot <strong>of</strong> cactus. Now,<br />
along with around 15,000 new homes,<br />
the community has its first high school.<br />
The 300,000-sq.-ft. Boulder Creek<br />
High School includes two, two-story academic<br />
buildings, an auditorium building,<br />
an administration building, a competition<br />
gym and practice gym and a<br />
performing arts center. The project also<br />
includes the construction <strong>of</strong> a new football<br />
and soccer field, tennis courts and<br />
four baseball diamonds, as well as a<br />
shared media center that Maricopa<br />
County will operate as a public library.<br />
The buildings wrap around a central<br />
student plaza, creating space for outdoor<br />
dining and studying, while also<br />
creating a secure campus. Massing on<br />
the front <strong>of</strong> the building will be broken<br />
up with “wavy” panels, while the building’s<br />
back faces Interstate 17.
