Situated at a prominent corner of the site, where two main roads intersect on the northern edge of downtown, the New Student Union serves as a dynamic link between the school and the community, enriching their shared value and contribution. It is an inviting "gateway" to downtown Morgan Hill, captivating everyone passing by. Inside, the design creates an immersive and vibrant space that remains bustling throughout the day, showcasing the vibrant educational environment. The second-floor Media Center and the double-height Cafe space seamlessly connect through a striking study pod, fostering visual activity and cementing a strong bond with the community. Acting as a complementary element to the Student Union, the Administration renovation proudly represents the school campus's new identity to the public while serving as a fresh gateway for the school community. This project creates a cohesive and innovative space that benefits everyone involved by transforming administrative services and student support spaces into a traditional classroom wing building.
