The new 288,000-sq-ft Cedar Creek High School sits on a 65-acre site and is designed for 1,500 students with the core spaces set at a capacity of 2,300 for future wing expansion. The building is tiltwall construction with a combination of natural and manufactured stone exterior skin. The facility includes a cafetorium and building trade spaces (such as welding) and includes fields for football, baseball and softball, as well as tennis courts and bleachers to seat 1,500 with a field house.

Unique elements include a 63-ft-tall clock tower at the school’s main entrance and a compound radius roof with aluminum composite fascia. The school features 38,000 sq ft of dyed and polished concrete floors, requiring protection during the completion of construction.
