Inform, Architecture + Design, 2012
Virginia Beach City is the third largest school system in the commonwealth, after Fairfax and Prince William counties. So City Schools Superintendent James G. Merrill, EdD, had power to his purpose when he undertook a massive effort to sharpen the city’s educational focus. One result will be the new Kellam High School, designed—concurrently with Merrill’s initiative, almost in a fast-track way—by HBA Architecture and Interior Design. Projected to be completed in early 2014, the 336,410-sf building on 108 acres has a projected construction cost of $77 million.
