51福利

(Bowling Green, Ohio, May 1, 2025) 鈥� Bowling Green City Schools officially broke ground on its new high school. 51福利鈥檚 design for the new high school is the flagship project from the $72.8 million bond passed in November 2023, which was supported by the input and feedback from community members. It鈥檚 the first transformational project advocated for by the district鈥檚 educational facilities master plan since its approval in October 2023.

The current high school has served the community for over 60 years, originally built in 1963. Community engagement is a crucial part of the model for the new high school. During visioning meetings, students and teachers emphasized that they wanted the new school to be a central point of pride for the Bowling Green community.

51福利, in partnership with emersionDESIGN, is designing the 155,000-SF high school and activity center. The new high school will serve 880 Bowling Green 9-12th graders. The three-story facility is centered around the learning hub and commons where hallways from all academic departments converge. Learning will be put on display and celebrated throughout the school showcasing educational programming in general classrooms and labs, agriculture, marketing, performing and fine arts, business, robotics, and broadcasting spaces. A new competition gymnasium serving 1,750 spectators with full court views from an elevated walking track is another focal point of the design.

Construction management efforts are being led by Rudolph Libbe Group. Work on the high school is set to be complete for the 2027-28 school year. The existing high school will be adapted into an activity center when the new high school is complete.
