The Nebo School District located in Spanish Fork, Utah had not designed
and constructed a new high school since 1964. The area served by the
District, since that time, had become the preferred bedroom community
for the southern part of Utah Valley. The District found themselves in
need of two new high schools to support 1600 students each. MHTN
Architects designed Salem Hills High School to be the first of these
facilities located in Salem, Utah, and the prototype of the second to be
located in east Spanish Fork, Utah.
The District mandated that the design of Salem Hills incorporate all the
best thinking of the Nebo School District administrators and educators
as well as patrons within the community served by the facility. To
accomplish this MHTN Architects employed a unique discovery process that
was built on consensus and facilitated by communication. The interactive
process ensured that all of the stakeholders participating in the master
planning and programming process had their needs, requirements and
vision for the facility addressed and successfully achieved in their new
facility.
The facility employs three large common spaces central to and anchoring
the activities of Athletics, Performing Arts, and Career Technology
Education. Natural light from large windows and celestory and right
sized classrooms and support spaces, provide the students, teachers and
patrons with a welcoming, comfortable and nurturing educational
community environment within which to explore learning, life and
personal growth.
The building is two stories constructed of a combination of single wythe
brick in the majority of the building and colored concrete masonry in
the Field House and Performing Arts wings. A winding sky bridge through
the CTE commons connects the second floor academic communities providing
a synergistic visual connection between floors. The total area of the
Facility is 245,000 square feet located on a 57 acre site just off of
Main Street in Salem. The site was developed with sensitivity to a 5
acre wetlands area that the design maintained.
