Weatherproof spaces for student success

As part of the 2023 bond, voters approved the construction of multipurpose activity centers—known as MACs—at each high school campus. Originally planned as separate field house renovations and indoor facilities, these elements have been combined into one dynamic space designed to serve athletics, fine arts, and academic programs year-round.

“These facilities are for everyone. They’ll shield students from harsh weather and disruptions, keeping learning and performance on track year-round.”

For each campus, the project includes an 80-yard turf field and storage for fine arts and athletics. The fieldhouse will include locker rooms for outdoor sports, coaches’ offices, a meeting room, laundry room, weight room, and storage.

The schematic design animation, presented to the Board of Trustees in May 2024, highlights the original vision for these flexible, all-weather facilities.
