    EDUCATION | K-12 STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING SERVICES AUSTIN DALLAS FORT WORTH HOUSTON www.age-se.com 214.520.7202 Education | K-12 Portfolio Kathlyn Joy Gilliam Collegiate Academy Dallas Independent School District Kathlyn Joy Gilliam Collegiate Academy is an early college high school tailored to prepare primarily first generation college students for academic success. Along with SHW Group, our firm designed the 110,000-square-foot facility as a series of academic and social spaces centered around a common area to give the facility the feel of a multiple-building campus, similar to a college, while keeping the students in a secure environment. Faculty offices are located in a “perch,” a large, cubic space suspended on the second floor, from which faculty can view the various academic spaces. Upperclassmen are housed on the first floor, allowing for more freedom and unstructured time, while the lower grade levels are on the second floor for a more structured, controlled environment in closer proximity to teachers. Multiple spaces for informal learning are incorporated throughout the building. Prosper High School New High School and Indoor Practice Facility Prosper Independent School District Prosper High School is the modern American High School - Texas style. This project is a $113.5 million, 590,000-square-foot behemoth, complete with a medical tech lab, a restaurant-worthy kitchen, a greenhouse, a broadcast studio, and an indoor football practice facility. Working under tight deadlines, our team completed the new high school along with a new sports arena, indoor practice space, and natatorium. This is the largest project to date for Prosper Independent School District.
