One of Lusardi’s foremost and forward thinking projects is the reconstruction of the San Marcos High School. The multistory state-of-the-art campus offers collaborative environments, flexible and adaptable classrooms, dynamic student common areas, access to cutting edge technology, and communal areas that promote various learning styles that facilitate collaboration, creativity, and inspiration. Located on a 45-acre site is 425,000 square feet of building area that is designed to engage up to 3,200 students. Designed around a collegiate model, the San Marcos High School has a central student courtyard that is the heart of the social campus activity. To provide students with greater diversity, no classroom is retained by a single teacher. Teachers, along with students will shift classrooms making it a student-centered classroom model rather than a teacher-centered classroom to foster the school district’s educational goals. Because the school is technology driven, it is rich with cutting edge high-tech components that are available in all classrooms; making it more accessible to students at all times.

The education facility was constructed over a 36 month period and was done so over three phases. The comprehensive high school consists of 7 buildings that offer classrooms, administrative support areas, counseling, a library, food service, performing arts theater, gymnasium, multi-purpose room, and multiple social common areas. The building structures are a sequence of steel, tilt-up concrete, poured-in-place concrete, masonry, and curtain-wall.

Construction began with construction of the Interim Campus for the students to temporarily attend classes for several months while the new school was being constructed. This consisted of the construction of 373 modular units that were completed and occupied by students in a staggering six months. Following the temporary housing was the demolition of the existing school and the reconstruction of the new facilities. Lusardi self-performed the concrete portion of the school that consisted of 303 tilt-up panels and 21,000 cubic yards of concrete.
