Project Description

KOO recently completed a 50,000-square-foot addition to Walter Payton — the top-rated high school in Illinois — that will allow the school to accommodate 50% more students. The design adds a competition gymnasium, a lunchroom, a black box theater, a dance studio, additional classrooms, and a special education facility.

The annex is designed to take its cues from the original structure without striving to replicate it. It utilizes a complementary building palette and a rotated gymnasium mass with angles referencing the existing structure.
