Architectural Excellence : As with most school campuses, Gainesville City High School was concerned with aesthestics when it opted to utilize modular for the additional classrooms they required. At the same time, maximizing every sqaure foot of available footprint was also important. With those elements in mind, the building was constructed to match the two other complexes which are closely situated near it. In addition, the complex was configured to take up as much of the soccer field space that was available.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : Resun worked closely with the school district to design a solution that would fit their specific needs. This included providing alternate HVAC units on opposite ends of the modules to allow for the district to save on Duct work. This configuration distributed the noise from the HVAC units allowing for minimal disruptions. HVAC units were evenly distributed throughout the campus - one class room was not overwhelmed with 2 HVAC units on one side, while the class across the hall did not have any.

Technical Innovation : Utilizing modular to handle flucuating populations and unplanned needs is typical of many school districts. The Gainesville City High School project was no exception. Resun designed the building so that the hallways would end close to the side walks. In addition, the complex was positioned between the existing middle school and the existing high school, which allows for the middle school to use the facility for overflow after the high school is done with it.
