Project Description:
Salisbury High School was originally constructed in 1961. The District elected to relocate their 9th Grade to the High School to relieve overcrowding at their other schools. Architecture FURST teamed with D’Huy Engineering and formulated a phased construction plan to add a new 2-story, 41,300 sq. ft. Science and Arts addition along with a complete renovation to the remaining building and auditorium. All new and renovation construction work will be performed while the school remains completely functional.
