Lake Wylie High School, Clover School District

Lake Wylie High School was designed to meet the growing enrollment needs of the Clover School District. This new high school engages students and fosters cultural growth.

Successful Bond Referendum and Innovative Design

The design aligns with the district’s successful bond referendum, maximizing space usage. Classroom use is scheduled rather than assigning rooms to specific teachers. The three-story facility accommodates 2,100 students, with the potential to expand to 2,600.

Collaboration is central to Lake Wylie High School’s design, with academic “houses” surrounding multi-purpose spaces and outdoor classrooms. These open, visible spaces support efficient operations and safety through passive supervision.

The design prioritizes sustainability with a geothermal system, low-flow plumbing, LED lighting, and reduced ceiling systems for long-term efficiency. Large windows throughout connect the building to the surrounding green spaces, reinforcing the school’s connection to nature.
