Oxford High School
Oxford, MS
Located in the heart of Gulfport, the new Gulfport High School project involved constructing new state-of-the-art facilities adjacent to existing buildings, while also demolishing outdated structures on campus to make room for classroom buildings, a field house, and a practice gym. Design for this project also included renovations to existing school buildings which were carefully phased in to ensure the school remained operational during the two-year construction period. The main objective was to update classroom and athletic buildings to meet code standards, create modern educational facilities, and reorganize the master plan to enhance campus security through limited secure entrances and a central courtyard.

St. Patrick Catholic High School
Biloxi, Mississippi
Following the Katrina aftermath, the damaged Catholic high schools of St. John and Mercy Cross consolidated into a larger, state-of-the-art facility. The St. Patrick High School project involved the design and construction of a new junior high and high school that was the result of this merger. Strategically located on 40 acres, the initial capacity for the campus is 600 students with the capability to expand to 1000 students.
The campus is divided into two separate buildings with a landscaped courtyard in between. A two-story brick and stucco academic wing fronts the street and is designed in a traditional style. The extracurricular building is located on the opposite side of the courtyard and is connected to the main building by a covered colonnade that has the feel of a cloistered garden. A small day chapel is the focal point of the courtyard. Athletic facilities and parking are arranged around a looped road that surrounds the school.
