Early College High School, Tyler ISD

Another degree of design.

This 61,000-square-foot facility currently under construction will serve as the new Tyler ISD Early College High School, where students can earn college credit along with their high school diploma. Sitting adjacent to the district’s existing Career Technology Center, the design is anchored by a generous indoor and outdoor commons that can be used by both schools in a variety of ways. It serves as a library, café, and event space for guest lectures and student presentations. The design of the academic area follows a college model that reflects the school’s unique program, letting students choose from a variety of spaces to work, study, and socialize between classes.
