This facility houses both a Middle
School and an Intermediate School. It was constructed of block and brick
with a sloped standing seam roof. There is use of passive solar features
and provision for separate bus and auto circulation. The Middle School was built to have
40 classrooms, which include: lockers, storage and teacher work areas;
10 special classrooms, a Little Theater, an administration area, a gym
and cafeteria. The food service area and multi-purpose area is shared
with the Intermediate School. Other features include 36 classrooms; storage
and teacher work areas; 5 special classrooms, an administrative area and
a gym and play area. The Tennessee School Boards Association
presented the Intermediate School and Middle School, the School of the
Year Award in 1985. It was selected as a school for display by the jury
of the American Association of School Administrators and the American
Institute of Architects for its physical and organizational separation,
and pod concept of a "school within a school" that further attempts
to scale down the massiveness to provide students a more intimate family-type
relationship.
