Fletcher High School Courtyard
Location: Neptune Beach, FL
Client: Fletcher High School PTSA
VIA Concepts was approached by the Fletcher High School PTSA to come up with a design to improve an existing exterior courtyard space. VIA Concepts proposed a small amphitheater on the western side of the courtyard, to be used by both FHS and the Jacksonville Beaches communities.
The design incorporated a simple fabric roof on structural posts for shading and aesthetics, a raised concrete platform and poured concrete seating to provide viewing, as well as planters which soften hard surfaces and limit heat gain. Multiple shade structures were also proposed throughout the courtyard, to provide sun protection for students. The courtyard now supports many uses such as lunchtime seating, an outdoor classroom, and a venue for concerts and/or plays.
