Section 01. History of North Dallas High School
North Dallas High School 100 Years : 1921 to 2019 Nearing its Centennial year in existence, North Dallas High School has served many generations of Dallas ISD students. History North Dallas High School was built in 1920 in the Romanesque Revival style that was very popular for educational buildings constructed during this period. By 1922, Dallas had four high schools. The fourth, North Dallas, opened that year. At the time, the school was so far outside of the city that it was almost considered to be “in the woods.” Situated on a cornfjeld, 794 students enrolled for the fjrst year, most of them transfers from 1 Dallas High School (Crozier Tech). North Dallas High School graudated many notable people including Tex Avery, creator of Bugs Bunny; and most of the Martinez family who founded Dallas-based El Fenix Restaurants. There have been several renovations to North Dallas High 3 2 School since 1920 — an addition for a boys gymnasium and a physical education facility on the backside of the original building was completed in 1957; in 1971 the entire building was air-conditioned. Some renovation work was completed in the building 1977. An addition to the north-east side (McKinney Avenue side) was completed in 1985 as well as additional parking added on the Cole Avenue side. This addition was designed by Frank L. Meier, a Dallas architect and graduate of the class of ‘55, and it matches the red brick used in the original building. Mr. Meier also headed up the solar applications project and he remains in possession of lttner’s original 1920 specifjcations. 6

In addition, various interior renovations were completed to facilitate the every 4 changing needs of students. Throughout each phase of these improvements to the facility, the original exterior construction from 1920 has remained largely unchanged with the except of non-historic metal windows. Intent of Current Planned Renovations The current scope of work approved by Dallas ISD as part of their 2015 Bond Program will work to clean the exterior facade, replace sealant joints as part of ongoing maintenance to the facade, replace the fjnal remaining original wood and/or steel windows with new metal windows (if required for exterior envelope integrity), and renovate/reconfjgure portions of the building’s interior to meet current District Standards and programming needs. 7

Design Concepts Space Planning and Massing When confjguring the new addition we looked to the existing historic architecture to provide planning, context, and design STORM SHELTER & inspiration for the new addition. The strong sense of symmetry ATHLETICS ADDITION engendered by the original layout of the school’s corridors informed the overal building width and position. Where possible we carried these lines through the site to allow the addition to continue to inform the campus growth.
