Thompson Turner Construction was commissioned by Berkeley County School District to provide Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) services for design and construction phases of the new Philip Simmons High School.

#### About the Project

The new high school is a 230,000 SF facility and was constructed in the development of the Cainhoy Plantation. Opened in August 2017, the high school houses 1,400 students with core facilities to accommodate a potential expansion to 1,600 students.

The design of the school was planned around learning communities or academies that create smaller schools within the realm of a larger high school. The new high school features a 1,000-seat theater, a full-size gymnasium with an auxiliary gym, a STEM facility, a health science academy, outdoor learning centers, and a business and hospitality academy.
