Judges’ Comments The development of this land included public infrastructure for access (a new four-lane roadway), education facilities made up of classroom buildings, a multistory library building, a multi-use building, a theater building, an administration building, as well as PE facilities made up of a football stadium, four baseball/soft- ball diamonds, a multi-story gymnasium, tennis courts, hard courts and a swimming complex. Building design, techniques and products varied with many of the buildings. The multi-story library and gymnasium structures as well as the single story swimming complex locker room buildings are comprised of structural steel, metal deck and metal studs. The administration, multi-use and classroom buildings are comprised of structural steel and wood studs. The multi-story theater building is comprised of structural steel, metal decking and wood studs. And the technology classroom building combines both structural steel and wood studs with a rammed earth structural wall and recycled redwood siding. Though the campus includes all basic necessities of a modern high school, many of the finished buildings exceed the standards. The theater building and “Kudos to Heritage for an interesting and functional design in a hilly location.” its capabilities rivals private venues and even includes a sound studio.
