Bishop McGuinness, established in the 1950s, is Oklahoma City's premier Catholic high school. However, few improvements have been made to the school over the last 52 years, so MA+ Architecture was chosen to assist McGuinness in updating and expanding their facilities. This $10 million 70,000-square-foot project consisted of a new area plus a total renovation of the retained areas. The addition provided new administration areas, a new library/media center, a new student commons, a new cafeteria/kitchen, and 29 classrooms all on a very restricted site. All of the construction and renovation efforts were performed while keeping the existing buildings fully operational.
