YAS performed structural design services for the addition of 3-stories to be built on top of the existing 8-story school building. This new addition includes a larger gym to host basketball games on the glass-encased top floor, locker rooms, performance art spaces, and a turf playing field on the roof. The three additional stories brings the height of the building to a proposed 186 ft, and no more than a maximum of 210 ft. The existing space is also being renovated, adding a dining hall on the ground floor, in order to discontinue lunch shifts throughout the day.  YAS is also responsible for adding 2 floors to the original 6-story building in 2008 where a new 11,000sf library was constructed.
