Campus Modernization Master Plan | Watchung Hills Regional High School District
Spiezle collaborated with the District to assess current needs and develop a long-term vision for the school’s campus through a comprehensive master plan. Addressing both academic and student life spaces, as well as the school grounds, the master plan serves as a strategic guide for future facility improvements.
future-ready schools
Following the completion of the plan, Spiezle was engaged to implement multiple high-priority projects that enhance both academic and student life spaces. Initial improvements included converting a standard classroom into a state-of-the-art music technology lab; renovating the boys and girls locker rooms; and upgrading the schools athletic facilities by replacing the tennis courts a durable post-tensioned concrete system. Additional enhancements focused on campus accessibility and security, such as improved signage at the main entrance and new fencing along the school’s breezeway. To further support hand-on, specialized learning, Spiezle also created dedicated spaces for robotics, ceramics, and science education.
Building on these advancements, Spiezle transformed and expanded the existing library center into a dynamic hub for modern learning. Designed to support interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation, the space now features STEM/STEAM labs, Podcast Room, and a CAD/Drafting area. Many of these spaces incorporate Virtual Reality capabilities, while the integration of flexible furniture and movable walls foster an adaptable, interactive learning environment that aligns with the school’s evolving educational needs

“What an amazing space! From the layout to the furniture to the colors, it all came together even better then I had envisioned. It was a truly collaborative effort by all of you. You really listened to everything we were trying to achieve in that space and managed to successfully incorporate it. Thank you for creating such a cool new environment for our staff and students.”
