Work is slated to start this month on the newest addition to Northfield High School. Groundbreaking is slated to start this quarter on the Commons Building at the newly opened high school on the Paul Sandoval Campus – a 20-acre site at 5500 Central Park Blvd. in Denver that is part of a larger regional park and is located in the Northfield area of Stapleton. The 18,950-square-foot building, slated for completion in August, will include a warming pantry and cafeteria as well as an elevated stage platform. It will be located adjacent to 56th Avenue and east of Central Park Boulevard. Golden Triangle Construction was selected for the Commons Building project. LOA Architecture is the architect of record, in association with H+L Architecture. Currently, Northfield High School includes two buildings and a sports complex. The Small Learning Community is a two story classroom building with 36 classrooms, including four state-of-the-art science laboratories, an engineering laboratory and seven small breakout rooms, a computer lab and a library. The gymnasium building includes the temporary warming pantry and cafeteria, a CHSAA-sized gym, weight room, dance room and physical education/athletic locker rooms. The sports complex features tennis courts, baseball, softball and soccer fields and an all-purpose track and field. Northfield High School is the first high school that Denver Public School’s built in more than 30 years. It also was designed by LOA Architecture and H+L Architecture. The new high school and park will share parking and athletic facilities with Denver Parks and Recreation.
