Central High School, Bibb County School District,
Macon, GA
Central High School is a new comprehensive campus designed to replace an existing facility on an adjacent site while maintaining uninterrupted school operations. The 1,000-student school was planned for future growth to 1,200 students without requiring expansion of major support spaces such as the media center, food service, or gymnasium. The project achieved LEED Silver certification, reflecting a commitment to sustainable design.
Howard High School, Bibb County School District,
Macon, GA​
Howard High School is part of a comprehensive middle and high school campus that shares centralized food service facilities. Dunwody/Beeland designed the 190,000 SF high school and collaborated with a local architectural partner on the adjacent middle school. The facility is based on a prototype developed jointly for the Bibb County School District, allowing for efficient planning and future adaptability. Near project completion, the scope was expanded to include a 600-seat auditorium. Academic classrooms are organized within a two-story structure surrounding a central courtyard, while vocational arts and ROTC programs are accommodated in dedicated wings to support specialized instruction.
Veterans Elementary School, Bibb County School District
Macon, GA​
Veteran’s Elementary School was designed to replace the outdated, two-level Morgan Elementary School with a fully accessible, modern learning environment. The challenging site topography, marked by significant elevation changes, informed an innovative building configuration that seamlessly adapts to the terrain. The primary one-story volume houses the reception lobby, administrative offices, library, gymnasium, and dining hall, while two two-story classroom wings extend from this central core.
Veteran’s Elementary School features bright, contemporary classrooms designed to inspire engagement and creativity. Abundant natural light is introduced through large windows and clerestories, while vibrant interior colors create an energetic and welcoming atmosphere. Alternating soffit colors along the corridors help students easily identify their classrooms, reinforcing both wayfinding and a sense of ownership within the school.
