We partnered with Murray School District to envision and execute the Hillcrest Junior High School replacement over five years, emphasizing student safety and site accessibility. The new 180,000-square-foot facility, strategically positioned away from the bustling State Street, fosters an environment conducive to learning and community engagement. A highlight of this project is the state-of-the-art auditorium, designed to support and enhance the school�s vibrant performing arts programs. With 800 fixed seats, the auditorium offers a spacious and comfortable venue for both school and community events. Key features of the auditorium include a � fly system, enabling versatile stage configurations and dynamic productions. The inclusion of a little theater with 123 retractable seats, which doubles as a green room, adds to the facility�s adaptability. This space is designed for multiple uses, accommodating scenery changes and providing dressing rooms. Understanding the importance of community involvement, the auditorium was designed with a larger stage footprint to support full-scale productions. The additional floor space and a passthrough corridor behind the stage curtains ensure seamless movement and logistics for performers and crew. The Hillcrest JHS auditorium stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of our firm, the Murray School District, and the local community, providing a premier venue for both educational and community-based performing arts.
