Staley High School

Currently under construction and slated for completion in the summer of 2008, Staley High School for the North Kansas City School District is the first school project to seek LEED Certification in the state of Missouri. The building will be home to the Staley Falcons and is designed for 1500 students in grades 9-12. It will employ up to 150 full time staff members and 10 part time workers. The 306,168 square foot two-level building with a footprint of 211,677 square feet will be comprised of four distinct areas: Physical Education/Gym Wing; Fine Arts and Practical Arts Wing; Great Hall/Commons, Library/Media Center, and Administrative Complex; and Instructional Wing.

From 2005 – present, Earthly Ideas has served as the sustainability and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) consultant and has provided design assistance to the team including coordination of LEED certification process. The project completed its design application review with the USGBC in April 2007 and will complete its LEED certification in late 2008.
