The Roosevelt High School modernization provided upgrades needed for the campus facilities. The site design provides new pathways and landscaping, outdoor childcare facilities, tennis courts, shot put, and stormwater interventions. The project salvaged site trees and used the root wads in a bio-retention facility to provide visual texture and habitat. Seat walls in the courtyard double as stormwater runnels that splash into artistic weathering steel grates.
