Decatur High School
Decatur, Georgia
Decatur High School has a long and storied history as one of the premier high schools in the metro-Atlanta area. Multiple design teams have been charged with developing various projects over the last several years, all with BLP as their site design consultant.
2006: New Stadium and Gymnasium Complex: Replaced the existing outdated facilities. The state of the art facility includes an artificial turf playing surface, a beautiful stadium, new concession and restroom facilities and easy access to the urban fabric of downtown Decatur. Incorporated site design elements include an underground stormwater infiltration system, native landscaping and several bioretention cells to give the site a sustainable flair.
2011: Career Academy: A renovation of a portion of the campus to create a career academy. Significant infrastructure modifications including storm and utilities were designed.
2014: New High School Complex: Currently and simultaneously under design and construction phases, this is a major expansion to accommodate the doubling of enrollment between 2012 and 2018.
