Arbor View High School is a high school in northwestern unincorporated Clark County, Nevada, United States that opened in 2005. [3] It is part of the Clark County School District. The school was built on 40 acres of land previously owned by the nearby Gilcrease Orchard, which became the namesake of the 'Arbor View Aggies' for its 'tree-lined views'. [4]

Architecture

Arbor View was built at a total cost of $54 million, with construction beginning in March 2004 and completion occurring in August 2005. At completion it formed the largest school in the district, with a campus area of 40 acres (16 ha) and four buildings with a total of 330,000 sq ft (31,000 m2) of floor space. [5] It was one of ten new schools that opened in the school district in 2005, one of the fastest-growing school zones in the nation. [6]

Arbor View High School is an architectural prototype, featuring a mall-style design with four two-story corner "houses" and a shared central esplanade. The layout is intended to help foster the feeling of a "small school environment", [3] in the words of interim co-superintendent Walt Rulffes, even though it is by far the largest school in the history of the Clark County district. The structure is more energy-efficient than existing schools within the district. Additionally, portable classrooms are used to maintain the increasing number of students enrolling at the school each year.

The design for this school received a 2005 AIA Nevada Excellence in Design Award merit award for a completed structure. [7] The architecture was designed by the Tate Snyder Kimsey Architects.
