New construction at Golden West is focused on buildings for a variety of academic disciplines ranging from cosmetology to the humanities. Smaller buildings will be demolished to create space for the new facilities. Additionally, new conference spaces are being constructed to handle special campus events. Deadlines and completion dates for the projects are variable—depending on funding and academic schedules.

Each new school is a reset with different layouts, learning models, expectations, and ways of moving through a building. The next generation of school design is making the case that the first day of kindergarten and the last day of high school can and should feel connected through common support systems and infrastructure in the physical environment.
