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 price we pay for the complexity of life is too high. When you think of all the effort you have to put in—telephonic, technological and relational—to alter even the slightest bit of behaviour in this strange world we call social life, you are left pining for the straightforwardness of primitive peoples and their physical work.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
