James Island Charter High School unveils new CTE and gym spaces
Charleston County School District (CCSD) is proud to unveil a new Career and Technology Education (CTE) building and competition gymnasium on the James Island Charter High School Campus.
The $24.9 million project was completed by M.B. Kahn Construction. The two projects totaled 58,132 square feet and was designed by Quackenbush Architects and Clancy + Wells Architects.
“These additions will meet the needs of today’s students by providing state of-the-art classrooms, labs, and athletic facilities that will support new and existing programs,” said Principal Timothy Thorn.
The CTE space will serve nearly three hundred students and provide areas of study in Building Construction Management, Culinary Arts, Health Sciences, Engineering, and Information Technology.
The gym, named Millie Kennedy Gymnasium, will be able to accommodate approximately 1,900 patrons. The building also has an athletic hall of fame, a school store, an additional weight room, and a Sports Medicine classroom/lab.
A project-designed sound system and jumbo JICHS Trojan graphics make this highly professional educational facility stand out, added Jasmeen Shaw, Executive Director of Capital Programs.
