High Tech High North County in San Marcos has been in operation since 2007. This Fall it begins its third year in a beautiful new building designed by Studio E Architects and built by Bycor General Contractors. High Tech High North County is a prime example of what great things can be done with limited budgets and timelines. Studio E’s plan organizes school activities around an active “Main Street” gallery the school’s primary social space and display area for student work that links a series of educational neighborhoods of classrooms, exploratories, and studios. Designed to emphasize sustainability and community, the building carefully attends to its setting by capturing prevailing breezes and daylight while limiting direct solar gain. The use of simple materials in innovative ways has created a vibrant building that enhances the learning environment. The project was also designed with sustainability in mind and has received the EPA Energy Star Program, Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) Verification, and US Green Building Council LEED Silver Certification.
