FEMA Funding, Replacement School

Following a devastating 5.8 magnitude earthquake that both figuratively and literally shook the County, the Louisa community was left with an unusable high school facility. Within days, there was an extraordinary partnership between the school system and the County Board of Supervisors. This united leadership team worked with Commonwealth and Federal officials to plan the remaining school year with substantially reduced facilities.

This fast track, replacement high school addresses the evolving needs of today’s learner. The new school features dynamic, student-centered educational spaces that combine traditional classroom features with breakout spaces for collaborative, technology-enhanced, and project-based learning.

The design for the County’s only high school goes beyond replacing what was lost, providing students with new features for college and career readiness. G+P’s decades of high school experience allowed us to partner with Louisa County Public Schools and the community on this fast track, high profile project. We were able to bring tried and tested solutions, carefully adapted to give Louisa a school that feels uniquely its own.
