New Aquatics & Locker Room ComplexPhase 2 of the Malibu Middle High School Campus Plan
Exciting updates for Malibu Middle & High School! Phase 2 brings 40,000 sq. ft. of new spaces across three buildings: a middle school hub, gymnasium, and aquatics complex. The hub features a media lab, special education & counseling areas, a wellness center, food service, and outdoor spaces. The new gym includes a multi-sport court, fitness studio, and an ocean-view deck. The aquatics complex, adjacent to the existing pool, adds a 40-meter pool, locker rooms, and storage for water and track sports.
The new buildings are connected by outdoor spaces that boost learning and encourage an active lifestyle. Inspired by Malibu's coastal canyons, the design uses local materials, captures ocean breezes, and frames stunning views to create a true sense of place. Even in early design, we're prioritizing sustainability with high-performance features like a photovoltaic array to offset 50% of energy use, ceiling fans, and operable windows for added comfort.

City of Malibu and SMMUSD Committed to Working Together and With California Coastal Commission to Advance Malibu High School Project, July 25, 2023
We Need Your Help to Save The New Malibu High School Building, June 26, 2023
December 2022: The new Malibu high school building is designed to support 21st-century learning and will fit into Malibu’s coastal community aesthetics. The building plans have been approved by the Division of State Architects as scheduled. Demolition of the former Juan Cabrillo Elementary School is complete. Construction for the new high school will begin once the coastal commission approves the specific plan and the City of Malibu Planning Commission approves the Coastal Development Permit (CDP).
As part of the requirement to receive the CDP, story poles are put up to demonstrate the size/height of the building and help neighbors in the surrounding community determine if the new building will block scenic views.
