Sherwood’s skybridge epitomizes the relationship between interior and exterior spaces. Its views reinforce the building’s connection to the community, the landscape, and the world.

The courtyard is grounded by markers that celebrate the region's natural resources and captures the school’s relationship to the site’s existing grade.

The learning stairs and commons serve as two key gathering areas for both students and community members.

Light-filled classrooms connect to extended learning areas. The design team developed intentional transparencies and adjacencies to strengthen the relationship between various learning environments.

The two-story library features various spaces to gather, study, and learn. The library's impressive windows surround students with views of the athletic fields outside.

Cascade Point is a four-story atrium that serves as a vital learning and gathering hub. Its windows offer views of Mount Hood, Mount Adams, and Mount St. Helens.

The new Sherwood High School has become a beacon of community pride and a testament to the District’s commitment to cultivating rich academic experiences. As BRIC worked alongside District leaders, stakeholders, and students to strengthen relational and academic connections, we prioritized visual transparency and adjacencies throughout the school. These design solutions align with contemporary pedagogy and foster effective transitions between different areas of study. Flexible furnishings and abundant technology ensure students can effectively move beyond their classrooms and embrace the entire campus as an invaluable learning environment.
Located on a sloped site with views of the Cascade Mountain Range and Mt. Hood, Sherwood High School was thoughtfully integrated into the existing grade. Vital program elements exist on multiple levels of the building, ultimately creating intersections and synergies between components. The design team organized the building around a conceptual “cascade of spaces” to provide a series of centrally located interior and exterior spaces that support student gathering, social interaction, and a meaningful sense of community across the campus.
Regardless of an individual’s aspirations, interests, or academic journey, Sherwood High School represents a place where every student will feel empowered to engage with their peers, their education, and the world around them.
