The new gym at Fresno High is a wonderful addition to the campus. It was designed by Lionakis Architectural Firm from Sacramento and constructed by Davis Moreno Construction, Inc. The gym reflects the same architectural features as those used with Royce Hall and the buildings on Echo.

The exterior utilizes multi-color brick based on the same pattern and colors of Royce Hall and the Echo buildings. Purple accents and the dramatic gold Warriors sign above the gym entrance reflect the colors of the school. The lower support elements include tri-partite architecture in homage to the existing campus architecture, which is reflected in the column bases, capitals, and cornice line.

The inside of the gym uses the same elements—multi-color brick and gold and purple accents. The exposed ceiling and the glowing wooden floor create a beautiful place for students to play and relax.

The gym is 122,900 square feet space, including a 16,645 square-foot auxiliary gym. The $11.9 million project (funded by Measure M) includes:

• Main gymnasium: Features retractable bleachers with a seating capacity of 980 spectators.

• Support areas: Includes team rooms, restrooms, and a snack bar.

• Classrooms: Two classrooms

• New courts: Eight tennis courts and two basketball half-courts
