Building
Park City High School is a multi-level contemporary style complex. Since its renovation in 2008, the school has over 260,000 square feet of total floor area. The primary areas that underwent renovation were those on the front facade of the building facing Kearns Blvd. These areas included the school lunchroom, the main classroom wings, and the administrative offices. The reconstruction resulted in various improvements including a more spacious floor plan and updated building specifications. Updates to the building included redesigned classrooms with large glass windows and integrated multimedia systems. Also among updates to the building was a redesigned lunchroom area, which features five new food outlets, a school store, and a casual eating and socializing area for students. Other general updates to the building include new materials and finishes like glass, tile, stone, metal, and carpets. The combination of these materials resulted in what VCBO says "results in the entire complex appearing as one cohesive facility." The building now has a Silver Rating by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards. It has won four awards for its design including the 2010 Outstanding Project Award for Green School Building Design by Leading By Design.
