We are excited to congratulate Metro Nashville Public Schools on the new Hillwood High School Groundbreaking!
Drawing on the site’s history as a place of meeting and passage, the design for the High School establishes a crossroads of learning, bringing together students from diverse backgrounds through the school’s Professional Academies. Organized along a light-filled central corridor, each academy’s unique focus and work is on display for all students to experience, simultaneously projecting an individual “house” identity while inviting students to continue to explore and learn.
To mitigate environmental disruption of the hillside landscape, athletic facilities – with their large field footprints – are sited in lower, flatter zones. In addition, low-impact development strategies employ high-efficiency geothermal air conditioning systems and rainwater harvesting for toilet flushing or diverted to bioretention areas that display sustainability as a learning opportunity. The building is oriented to take advantage of solar exposure to control thermal comfort and natural light while minimizing glare. A large, roof-mounted photovoltaic system will harvest solar power. The project is pursuing LEED Silver certification.
