Facilities and Technology

Designed to house 1,200 students, the campus features specially equipped classrooms, science labs, digital media production facilities for sound and video, and large project spaces dedicated to engineering, robotics, and art and design. The building also incorporates features frequently found in university and corporate settings: large lecture halls  and flexible floor plans, building-wide wireless networking, and comfortable common areas to foster community and collaboration.

 

Technology plays an integral role in supporting curriculum and instruction at GSMST. In our 1:1 student laptop environment, students have instant access to eClass (Gwinnett County’s online learning platform) and industry-standard software from Microsoft, Adobe, Autodesk, and more on the Microsoft Windows platform. Students also use their laptops to take advantage of online learning opportunities provided by GCPS, including health, language, and psychology offerings. Teachers and students also have access to Smart interactive whiteboards, LCD projectors, language learning labs, and instructional computer labs with high-powered PC and Mac workstations designed for CAD, 3D design and animation, application programming, and media production.

 

 

Our students take their ideas from the digital to the physical in our workshops and makerspaces. Each 9th Grade Physics and Engineering (PhysEng) classroom has a fully equipped workshop with power and hand tools to support project-based learning. Our Engineering and Robotics programs have access to industrial fabrication and testing equipment.
