Great Falls High School Renovation & Addition

The Great Falls High School Renovation & Addition project revitalized one of Montana's most renowned educational landmarks. Completed in 2021—92 years after its original construction— the $38 million renovation modernized facilities while honoring its historic grandeur. Brick remains the material of choice and continues across the exterior, wrapping around the addition so that it stands in harmony with the original building. Large windows let in ample natural light and spacious common areas create moments for community. The project encompassed a 100,000 sq ft addition, 170,000 sq ft of renovations, and included a new campus hub connecting the main building to the south campus. Programmatically the project highlights STEM education, vocational training, and family sciences, a two-story cafeteria, and expanded senior parking with a dedicated drop-off zone. The original auditorium received careful restoration as well as upgraded audio/visual systems and ADA-compliant features, while maintaining its original 1930s architectural charm.
