Covington High School Classroom Building Expansion

Location

Covington, Louisiana

Owner

St. Tammany Parish Public Schools

Completion Date

November 2024

The project scope includes a significant addition to the high school campus with 70,000 SF of new classroom space on two floors. The new addition replaces 28 existing modular classroom buildings and creates a new eastern campus edge contiguous to the original 1970’s main classroom building. At the point of connection to the existing building, a new two-story commons allows space for student gathering. The north end of the addition is anchored by a new music and band facility that allows the entire high school band to rehearse as one, along with adequate storage space for all of their band equipment. The exterior design relates to the existing campus vernacular through the use of a light tan modular brick veneer and corrugated metal wall panels. East and western façade openings are shaded with terracotta baguette louver systems.
