High Schools
Olentangy Berlin High School
Working from the plan for Olentangy’s last two high schools, Fanning Howey partnered with district leaders to reimagine their approach to high school design while maintaining the cost efficiencies of a replication. The new design responds to educators’ desire for more collaboration space, placing innovation zones at the hub of the y-shaped academic wings. Meanwhile, a streamlined design process kept the building under $190 a square foot.
