Tour 3: Justice High School – Boulder Valley School District
Justice High School is a unique alternative charter high school located in Boulder Valley School District. The 9,700 SF building was originally constructed in 1979 as a day care center. After undergoing many small renovations, the district pursued a BEST Grant in 2019 to fully renovate the facility’s interior to create functional learning environments with space for collaboration. A favorable bidding environment and the ability to start construction in spring 2020 enabled the team to fully stretch the $1.6M construction budget and impact the entire facility.
