Voters in the school district approved a $110-million bond measure in 2008 to pay for a new high school and other construction.[2] Construction began in 2011 and the school opened in fall 2012. The school took the name Ridgeview in February 2011.[3]
The 280000ft2 school cost $75 million to build.[2] The two-story structure was designed by Dull Olson Weekes Architects, and built by Skanska USA.[4] The school sits on along the Old Bend-Redmond Highway and is designed to handle about 1,400 students.[4] The school's gymnasium can seat approximately 2,000 people, while the auditorium can handle over 600.[4] In addition to the main gymnasium, there is a separate wrestling room.[2] The auditorium includes trap doors on the stage as well as a full-size orchestra pit.[4]
Overall, the building was designed to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold standards, with sustainable features such as solar panels.[4] Other features of the building include a kitchen for students in the culinary arts program, a media studio complete with green screen, flexible classroom spaces, medical classrooms, and lab space for jewelry-making.[2] [4]
