Grand Junction High School

Terrazzo is central to this new school facility, unifying high-traffic areas with a sleek, contemporary aesthetic. A soothing, naturalistic palette underscores the connection between indoor spaces and the surrounding landscape. In the main gathering space – awash in natural light – a simple, well-scaled design traces the meeting point of two local rivers, while angular, mountain peak-inspired forms add dynamic energy. Five impeccably crafted precast terrazzo staircases include learning center steps with integrated stadium seating. Thoughtful detailing accentuates the materiality of the design, flowing intuitively with the architecture to create a warm and visually harmonious environment.
