Ann Arbor High School
Ann Arbor , Michigan

Ann Arbor Public Schools is in the midst of a large building program to relieve high school overcrowding. A beautiful new 1600 student comprehensive high school is under construction and significant renovation is being done to all other high schools.

New Skyline High School Construction:
The new four story, 382,000 SF, Skyline HS facility includes a classroom tower, media center, 800 seat performing arts center, gymnasium, and an 8 lane pool. Athletic facilities include a sunken bowl football stadium with synthetic turf, soccer/lacrosse field, resilient surface running track, baseball field, two softball fields, ten tennis courts, as well as multi-use practice fields.

Notable Features:
This facility is being constructed to achieve LEED certification in accordance with the U.S. Green Building Counsel. These practices will provide reduced operating costs, healthier more productive occupants, and conservation of natural resources. One of the highlighted features is the geothermal heating and cooling system. This system is comprised of approximately 80 miles of PVC pipes buried 5’ – 7’ deep which utilize the earth’s core temperature to regulate building comfort. This is one of the largest horizontal geothermal fields in the country.

Not only does Granger build excellent facilities, we also build quality roads! This project includes significant road construction along Maple Road, including 3 new roundabouts located at each of the busy M-14 intersections and the main entrance to the school. These will greatly improve traffic safety.

Renovations:
Renovations are also occurring at the five other Ann Arbor high school facilities. Among the many upgrades are a new performing arts addition (Huron), the decentralization of administrative offices (Huron and Pioneer), a new stage and music classroom (Roberto Clemente), a new gymnasium addition (Stone), and various mechanical and architectural upgrades at Community High School.
