POPE JOHN PAUL II HIGH SCHOOL, HENDERSONVILLE, TENNESSEE This 155,000 sq. ft. high school serves a student body of 600. The core areas are designed to accommodate a future enrollment of 1000 students with a simple pre-planned expansion to the classroom wing. Conceptually and functionally, the school revolves around the ellipse-shaped "piazza", or courtyard, encircled by a loggia reminiscent of St. Peter's Square in Rome. While serving as the primary circulation space of the school, the loggia also provides a welcoming statement to the community with a high degree of visibility from the nearby Vietnam Veterans Parkway as well as an embracing feeling to the Chapel, which is in the center and focal point of the entire composition.
