James Lawson High School

Nashville, TN

CSDG provided complete civil engineering design services for this 9th - 12th grade high school campus, opening on time for the 2023-2024 school year. The school is located in Bellevue on 273 acres and features a new 310,000-square-foot classroom building that serves 1,600 students. Comprehensive athletic facilities include TSSAA-qualified tennis courts, a football field and stadium, a baseball field and stadium, a softball field, as well as soccer and lacrosse fields. CSDG provided preliminary site analysis and due diligence of this property when the Metro Public School Board was assessing properties for the new high school.

Once this property was chosen, CSDG provided the complete civil engineering design, which included site layout, grading, drainage, utility services (water, sanitary sewer, natural gas, power), sanitary sewer pump station, earthwork quantity calculations, permitting with TDEC and USACOE of a stream encapsulation. The steep slope topography of this property presented a particular challenge in placing large, flat surfaces for the sports fields, the large building, and the parking lots. Projected to achieve LEED Gold certification. This state-of-the-art high school will undoubtedly inspire creativity and enhance learning for many years to come.
