MAPS Career Academy

The Moorhead High School Career Academy was an adaptive reuse project in which an existing big box store was transformed into a state-of-the-art educational institute. The renovation added a second floor in the heart of the building and organized the existing space into classrooms, labs and collaborative spaces for students to use.

The Career Academy has 36 traditional classrooms, three food science kitchens and over 15 labs with unique specialties. These labs are used for everything from welding and metal fabrication to early childhood education and nursing. All classrooms have flexible seating for students, wireless connections for devices and multiple digital monitor devices for sharing and collaborating on ideas and lessons.
