The new home of Kennewick School District’s Legacy High School opened April 12 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tour.

The

18,000-square-foot Legacy High features 13,000 square feet of remodeled space,

plus a 5,000-square-foot addition.

The school

has 11 classrooms, a gym, computer lab, offices and a conference and meeting

space.

Located at

4624 W. 10th Ave. in Kennewick, the school is in the former City Church

building.

Legacy High

provides a direct instruction program with on-campus classes, as well as an

online independent learning program and educational services for youth housed

at the Benton-Franklin Juvenile Justice Center and the Benton County jail.

The total

project cost, including the land, was about $7 million, and was paid for with

local capital project fund dollars.

Justin

Griffeth of Kennewick-based Banlin Construction was the project manager.

Joe Hampton of MMEC

Architecture & Interiors of Spokane/Kennewick was the architect.
