Physical Properties of FCHS
Charles William Brubaker, the leading educational architect at Perkins and Will at the time, was chosen to design Fort Collins High School. To cut costs, Poudre School District removed the swimming pool from Brubaker's design for the building, but the rest of the building remained. If the whole design was built, Fort Collins High School would be the largest k-12 private or public grade school in the district, exceeding Fossil Ridge's size. Currently, Fort Collins High School is the second largest grade school building in Larimer county, after Fossil Ridge, which has 4% more space. There is still room for the swimming pool, which is connected to the rest of the structure via steel beams with a courtyard underneath. If PSD receives enough funds in the future, the swimming pool could be added.
Recently, the three main class halls were repainted to reflect the school colors. LaPorte is Grey (the school administration believed black would be overly depressing), Mulberry is Gold, and Prospect is Purple. There is also a statue of a lamb above the main entrance and the school song transcribed just outside the Prospect hall. Remington Hallway was featured on C.

Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or properties:
“The term preschooler signals another change in our expectations of children. While toddler refers to physical development, preschooler refers to a social and intellectual activity: going to school. That shift in emphasis is tremendously important, for it is at this age that we think of children as social creatures who can begin to solve problems.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
