Fr. Tolton Catholic High School began with aspirations to increase the private school options in the region. The Diocese of Jefferson City hired PWA (with M+H Architects) to develop a master plan and designs for this new Regional Catholic High School in Columbia, Missouri. Working closely with the Planning Committee to address goals for the academic curriculum and athletic programs, the team developed plans and renderings to raise funds for the estimated $16 million project.
A third-floor shell added to the building design will allow for future expansion and add the capability for two additional labs and seven additional general classrooms. With an average class size of 20 students, finishing this third-floor shell will allow the new school to accommodate a population of approximately 440 students.
The proposed plan for the building has two phases with Phase One, including the building, parking, and land development is complete. The second phase will add a third level to the building, athletic facilities, and additional parking spaces.
Project Details:
- The school entry opens into a commons area adjacent to the Chapel.
- The Administrative suite includes a conference room accommodating 8-10 people.
- The library on the second floor includes comfortable lounge chairs in the reading corner.
- A divider screen can be lowered from the ceiling, allowing separate events to occur simultaneously in the gymnasium.
- Classrooms are equipped with durable seating and overhead video equipment.
