The new 24,500 square foot gymnasium facility at Shasta Lake School was specifically designed to meet the needs of the growing student population, as well as provide adequate recreational opportunities for the surrounding community. This joint-use facility consists of a full gymnasium, snack bar, specialty classrooms, a music department and additional parking. Design criteria taken into consideration for this project includes close proximity to athletic functions, incorporation of natural daylighting and sufficient, functional spaces to fulfill the needs of both the students and the active community for many years to come.
