Manchester High School (Connecticut) - Campus

Campus

Manchester High School is in central Manchester, Connecticut, surrounded by Brookfield Street, Summit Street, East Middle Turnpike, and East Center Street. It is down the road from Arthur H. Illing Middle School. On campus are baseball and softball fields, a track, and a soccer/football field. There are parking lots on Brookfield Street, Summit Street, and East Middle Turnpike. The building is two floors with most of the school consisting of a building dubbed the "quadrangle", which is shaped like a simple square. The quadrangle is the original primary building and includes the most of the classrooms and the library. The main office and guidance "suites" are also located in the quadrangle. Each hallway in the quadrangle is color coded to help students navigate the building, and to group subjects by hallways. The freshman wing further expanded Manchester High School and was opened in 2007. It extends off of one side of the quadrangle and consists of science labs, classrooms, an administrative "suite" (guidance and office areas", a computer lab, and a lobby). Also completed in 2007 was the Bailey Auditorium renovation. This renovation brought a new stage, re-upholstered seats, and a new state-of-the-art sound system to Bailey Auditorium.
