Blue Springs South High School, Blue Springs, MO

Work completed at Hollis and Miller Architects, 2019

Designed to unify and inspire, the Blue Springs South High School addition creates a seamless transition for freshmen while maintaining strong connections to upperclassmen. A dynamic commons area serves as the heart of the space, featuring warm wooden slats, bold school branding, and a striking jaguar graphic that energizes the environment. Learning stairs provide tiered seating for collaboration, while breakout spaces support hands-on, flexible learning. Throughout the interior, vibrant graphics in every shade of the school’s colors reinforce identity and pride, extending from the walls to the street view, where a stainless steel, illuminated jaguar welcomes students and visitors alike.
