When the District decided to expand their facilities, they hired Frick, Frick & Jetté Architects to develop a creative yet cost effective office environment within their existing campus. Frick, Frick & Jetté’s approach to this newly renovated space was to integrate modular buildings with the existing permanent structures. The buildings are designed with architectural enhancements which incorporate them seamlessly with the existing main structure. Three modular buildings were utilized for flexibility and cost effectiveness.

The landscape experience begins with new Arizona Ash and Sycamore trees throughout the site which will provide much needed relief from the harsh high desert climate. A low maintenance design for ongoing cost savings was incorporated, and drought resistant, native landscaping was used where appropriate to complete the campus transformation.
