Each apartment floor features CSO-designed custom graphics reinforcing spirit of place.
Two 6th-floor courtyards, facing east and west, provide additional outdoor amenities, complementing the expansive rooftop spaces.

The amenity building includes a large team room, lockers, restrooms, and concessions. A large overhang on the east side of the building is intentionally designed to provide shelter for all players if needed.
The facility features 15 post-tensioned concrete tennis courts, providing a high-quality, durable surface that will last for years. When not in use for school events, the courts are open to the public.
We’re thrilled to open the Westfield Tennis Center and provide our students and the community with a top-tier facility to enjoy tennis. This center reflects our commitment to offering outstanding athletic opportunities for our students and a space where the entire community can come together. “

Due to plans for a YMCA addition to the building, a temporary reception desk was installed. The large glass wall shown above would later become an entryway for the YMCA. With careful planning, the addition of the YMCA coordinated seamlessly with the Aquatic Center.
The 50-meter pool can be separated into three sections via movable bulkheads.
The natatorium also includes 1 and 3-meter diving boards and bleachers which seat 650 spectators.
Westfield High School’s 25-meter pool was originally built in 1997. As enrollment increased over time, the facility could no longer accommodate the growing needs of the student body. With the completion of the new Aquatic Center, the original high school pool become obsolete. It was subsequently filled in, and the space was repurposed as a wellness center — also designed by CSO.

Form Meets Function
A flexible central commons opens into the Discovery Center through a wide hallway lined with built-in cubbies. The two-story Discovery Center is filled with natural light and looks out onto one of the three outdoor learning studios.
,
Wayfinding Through Color
The design utilizes three color palettes—red, green, and blue—to distinguish each of the three academic wings.
,
A multi-purpose stage supports performances and gatherings of all kinds.
For smaller events, one side of the stage opens up to the main lobby. For larger events, the opposite side of the stage opens up to the cafeteria.
Each five-classroom learning neighborhood—one per grade level—includes a central activity area.
,
Flexible collaboration was achieved through grade-level learning communities, with six classrooms surrounding a multifunctional activity commons. This activity commons serves as a space for STEM activities, grade-level presentations, indoor recess, push-in remediation, and more.
Connected to each activity commons, an outdoor courtyard or balcony offers an additional learning environment.
An operable wall connects the gymnasium and cafeteria, creating a large gathering space when opened or maintaining separation of spaces for lunchtime and P.E. classes when closed.
,
Grade-level neighborhoods consist of five classrooms with large glass doors that open to an activity commons space which overlooks a secure courtyard. Each pair of classrooms shares a small group room and cubby alcove for student storage.
,
Each grade-level “Academic House” consists of a shared common area, four classrooms with small group rooms in between, restrooms, and a shared STEM lab.
At the center of the school is a cafeteria on the first floor with a large gathering stair leading up to the media commons.
Strategic Separation of Spaces
The far end of the building houses athletic and performing arts spaces, including a flexible theater and two gymnasiums.
,
In place of a standard cafeteria, a large student commons serves multiple purposes throughout the day as a gathering space for students before and after school, an event space, or an instructional space during school hours.
Learning on Display
STEM labs overlook the Student Commons with foldable glass doors that open up to connect the two spaces.
Designed for Maximum Flexibility
A multi-purpose performance / large group instruction space features retractable theater seating and padded athletic flooring, allowing the space to be used for overflow from the main gym, large student gatherings, or community events.
Sustainable design is integrated throughout the building with features such as a solar array, geothermal heat pump system, locally-sourced Indiana limestone, low-E windows, and a digital display that allows students to track energy consumption in real time.
