When the Youngstown City Schools
consolidated from three high school buildings to two, the
existing Chaney High School had to be completely renovated and a
new addition constructed to double its size to accommodate the
increased student body and additional programmed spaces.
The new addition includes a 1,150
seat spectator gymnasium with locker rooms, music and art
suites, and kitchen. Due to tight site constraints, a new
three story wing houses academic functions with an all science
floor at the top. Also, a multi-level Media Center
addition was constructed at the front of the building.
In the renovated portion of the
building, a new cafeteria three times the size of the original
was created out of an old vocational wing. Some former
classroom areas were renovated to accommodate expanded
administrative functions and the existing auditorium was
transformed into a contemporary performance space. |
