James Lawson High School

Nashville, TN

CSDG provided full civil engineering design services for this 9th - 12th grade high school campus, opening on time for the 2023-2024 school year. The school is in Bellevue on 273 acres and includes a new 310,000 sf classroom building, serving 1,600 students. Comprehensive athletic facilities include TSSAA qualified tennis courts, football field and stadium, baseball field and stadium, softball field, soccer and lacrosse field. 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, earth work quantity calculations, permitting with TDEC and USACOE of a stream encapsulation. The steep slope topography of this property was particularly challenging to be able to place 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.
