Falmouth High School
Falmouth, Massachusetts

ARCADD, Inc. completed the contract documents for a 297,000 square foot High School renovation in Falmouth, Massachusetts in 2002. The building is used extensively for a variety of community functions and public events as well. The building was originally planned with an open-space concept. However, over the last three decades, new classroom sub-divisions were made as the school expanded and addressed changes in educational curriculum. These changes resulted in diminishing the efficacy of the HVAC, lighting and emergency systems.

The building did not meet the Massachusetts Department of Education criteria. The new plans call for the renovation of the existing structure and expansion or improvement of the building where necessary. The design included the complete renovation and expansion of its auditorium, library, complete new circulation desk, new offices, new processing area, new staff area, new computer classroom, new media classroom, new community TV studio with control and editing rooms, and new equipment storage and repairs area. Hisham Ashkouri was the principal architect of this project.
