Icon West and Johnson Favaro engaged in a design build competition for the campus modernization and 64,735 SF 2-story new gymnasium complex project at Fairfax High School. The competition required extensive coordination to plan and develop the multi-phased effort which consists of five separate drawing packages/DSA submittals and five construction phases across four years on an active campus. The new gymnasium complex will consist of a main gym, practice gym, locker and team rooms, five specialty classrooms and other support spaces. The existing campus will undergo a modernization with new exterior paint and upgrades to comply with regulatory agencies. Exterior improvements of the approximately includes fencing, basketball courts, paving and various landscaped areas.
