A new entrance and significant addition to this 50's era educational building has enhanced its image and influence in the community. The design provides 20 new classrooms, lab spaces, and an updated entrance that welcomes over 1500 students daily. The monumental entrance reflects the two-story lobby that accomodates the large student body. The new classrooms offer advanced instructional technology, and incorporate state-of-the-art chemistry and biology labs. The design also includes an updated media center and library, administration suite, and student commons area. The building was designed to allow for uninterrupted functioning of the school during all phases of construction. The exterior of the building emphasizes the tradition of the campus and is clad in a brick and pre cast skin, with significant areas of glazing to direct natural light into the classrooms.

The Perry High School renovation is a classic. The 1950's era building has been redesigned with the look and function of the modern, while maintaining the traditional feel that reflects the heritage of the community of Perry.
