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.

It becomes a catalyst for growth, confidence, and belonging. That is the animating idea behind neurodiverse design, and it is one that is transforming how more architects and designers are thinking about school design.
