Shriver and Holland Associates prepared a programming and planning study for the renovation and modernization of this 1938 building. The scope of work included 142,000 SF of expansion and modernization of 150,000 SF to bring the existing colonial-style building into current code compliance and technologically equipping it for the 21st century. Features include business, mathematics, art, and foreign language computer labs, a fully equipped library media center, and a television production studio. Granby High School also has the advantage of a multimedia retrieval system that allows all instructional spaces to have access to various forms of audio and video. With an enrollment of 1,800 students, special emphasis went into the establishment of the academy concept that allows students and teachers the opportunity to be involved in smaller settings.
