Georgetown Future Ready Complex
Georgetown, TX
Client: Georgetown Independent School District
Size: 241,000
Completion: 2024
Faced with rapid population growth, Georgetown ISD set out to upgrade its approach to career and technical education (CTE). Existing programs were spread across three high schools and relied on outdated, makeshift equipment that limited both student access and real-world readiness.
The district responded with the creation of the Future Ready Complex, a 241,000-square-foot facility designed to centralize all CTE programs and equip them with modern, industry-grade tools and furnishings. To bring this vision to life, GISD partnered with Meteor Education and Advanced Technologies Consultants, who guided the planning, procurement, and installation of furniture and equipment.
JCJ Architecture
New Fairfield High School
New Fairfield, CT
Client: New Fairfield Public Schools
Size: 140,000 sf
Completion: 2023
Architect: JCJ Architecture
General Contractor: O&G Industries
The New Fairfield Public Schools engaged JCJ Architecture to redesign and replace significant components of a 1970s-era structure that was deemed by the town to have exceeded it useful life. The High School was co-located/connected to the Town’s Middle School and shared significant core spaces. The new 146,000 sf High School was constructed adjacent to the existing one. Once the new facility was completed, the existing classroom wing and auditorium were demolished; the original gymnasium and natatorium remained. The middle school and high school are separate buildings connected by a pedestrian plaza. With significant grade changes across the site, the building was designed in a 3-story configuration.
