YISD Del Valle HS

Ysleta ISD's Del Valle High School Fine Arts Addition included a 31,691 Sq. Ft. addition and renovation of approximately 7,664 Sq. Ft. The new construction houses the main spaces and include the Band/Orchestra suite, Dance Classroom and Art Labs. The highlight of the addition, is the space that intersects between the Band Suite and the Orchestra Suite. This space is designed to be used as an Art Gallery space equipped to handle wall hung artwork as well as 3 dimensional art pieces in display cases found in the space. Natural light filters down from the Clerestory windows of the Art Gallery and provides plenty of natural lighting for the character of the space. The exterior of the addition matches the existing dominant style of the high school which creates a seamlesstransition between the existing and new facility. The renovation portion of the project included converting the old Band Room to the Vocal Music Suite, converting the old Vocal Music suite to the Piano/Guitar Lab and converting the old Dance Room to the Scene Shop for the Theatre Department.
