Arizona College Prep High School includes 320,000 square feet of new infrastructure that provides students and faculty with a full-service campus and advanced opportunities. Seven buildings and seven sports spaces include classrooms, administrative offices, cafeteria, bookstore, a performing arts center, an athletics building that includes a main and auxiliary gymnasium, and home and away concession buildings.
Structural systems include masonry bearing walls and interior structural steel framing. The roof areas are framed with steel roof deck over steel joists and wide flange steel beam girders. The second floor framing of Buildings B, C, & D is composed of concrete over steel deck, supported by steel joists and wide flange steel beam girders. All steel columns consist of rectangular and square hollow structural sections. Foundations are conventional spread footings below steel columns and continuous footings below masonry walls bearing on compacted engineered fill. In order to mitigate cracking at exposed polished ground concrete floor systems, our team provided additional coordination with slab on grade and the 2nd floor system.
