Dugway Proving Ground is located southwest of Salt Lake City in Tooele County and supports the nation’s chemical and biological defense programs. Utilizing funding from both School District and US Department of Defense sources, the new Dugway High School replaces the base’s existing high school building. Originally slated to handle 300 high school students, the design was adapted to house the base’s kindergarten through senior high students creating a primary/secondary, or K-12, school - a first for the district. The building meets DoD anti-terrorism design  and durability standards. It utilizes a grouted masonry exterior bearing wall structure, securely anchored extra thick window and door systems, and sizable standoff distances to secure this home to Dugway’s students and teachers. This is Tooele County School District’s first geothermally heated and cooled school building.
