Congratulations Hug High School Team!
Located on the former Wildcreek Golf Course, the new Hug High School project marks the first time that the Washoe County School District has built a new high school campus in more than 15 years. The 298,000-sq-ft STEM-focused high school was constructed to accommodate a student population of approximately 2,500 and features more than 42 state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories. The school’s additional features include a full-service culinary instruction kitchen, a 435-seat performing arts center, two gymnasiums and multiple comprehensive sports fields. Designed and built with a strong emphasis on sustainability, the campus utilizes a geothermal exchange system for the building’s heating and cooling, as well as high-efficiency lighting. Additionally, reclaimed effluent sources provide landscape irrigation, helping to conserve potable water and reduce environmental impact. AAME provided Mechanical and Plumbing engineering services on the project and we’re thrilled to announce that Washoe County School District (WCSD) won the Engineering News Record’s (ENR) 2023 Southwest Best Projects: “Best K-12 Education” award. Congratulations to WCSD and the whole project team!
