Arbor View High School is a high school in northwestern unincorporated Clark County, Nevada, United States that opened in 2005. [1] It is part of the Clark County School District, which as of 2006, was the fifth largest district in the United States. The school opened with 1,500 students, although it was designed for up to 2,700.
Architecture
Arbor View was built at a total cost of $54 million, with construction beginning in March 2004 and completion occurring in August 2005. At completion it formed the largest school in the district, with a campus area of 40 acres (16 ha) and four buildings with a total of 330,000 sq ft (31,000 m2) of floor space.[2] It was one of ten new schools that opened in the school district in 2005, one of the fastest-growing school zones in the nation.[3]
Arbor View High School is an architectural prototype, featuring a mall-style design with four two-story corner "houses" and a shared central esplanade. The layout is intended to help foster the feeling of a "small school environment",[1] in the words of interim co-superintendent Walt Rulffes, even though it is by far the largest school in the history of the Clark County district. The structure is more energy-efficient than existing schools within the district.
The design for this school received a 2005 AIA Nevada Excellence in Design Award merit award for a completed structure.[4] The architecture was designed by the Tate Snyder Kimsey Architects.
Sports facilities
The school is one of three in Las Vegas that has a synthetic turf football field. It is a grassy style turf that is the exact type that is used in the NFL. This cuts down on facilities used in order to maintain the large field.
