This 280,000 sq. ft. New High School is the second High School for the North Hunterdon School District in Central New Jersey. For this project, Breslin Architects achieved a "Design Award" from the New Jersey Department of Education for "Outstanding Planning and Design". The school was judged the best high school in the Annual State School of the Year awards program. The Awards Jury commended "The simplified form of the building, restrained use of materials and color, precision detailing, the play of sun and shadow and the wonderful site and setting."
The linear, multi-story design was developed in response to the rather long and narrow site adjacent to Voorhees State Park. Site development included athletic fields, a multipurpose stadium with grandstands, an all-weather running track, tennis courts and related parking.
A subsequent addition of 60,000 sq. ft. also designed by Breslin Ridyard Fadero Architects, provided major expansion for physical education and state-of-the-art science and technology laboratories.
Both projects received Community support in the form of a Voter-passed Referendum prior to the start of construction.
