Thunder Basin High School

81,250 SF of the existing building was significantly remodeled and 100,500 SF of new space was added to the Thunder Basin High School. New space on the two-story north addition included a new classroom wing with 21 classrooms, a new theatre/performing arts space with a band/orchestra classroom, choir classroom, drama classroom and several individual practice rooms. A 460 seat theatre, with retractable theatre seating allowing the space to be used as a multi-purpose space, was also added. New space on the south addition included a new athletics area, including a new auxiliary gym, new locker rooms and coaches offices. The south addition also included a very large “Career Technical Education” area including state of the art welding shop, auto shop, small engine shop, agriculture shop and wood shop as well as two CTE classrooms.

The remodeled portion of the project was completed during the 2015 and 2016 summers. Remodeled areas included the existing locker rooms, gymnasium reconfiguration and renovation, food service area expansion, new art rooms, a counseling area, infill of existing open atrium space to add two additional classrooms and several classroom transformations into offices and special education spaces.
