Okay, so here goes my new junior and senior high school. I'm really proud of this. For me this is something amazing. LOL I normally build a box style building, if it be a house, a business, a park, you get the idea. So this, I'm really, really happy with. I hope you enjoy the pics!
So this is the front view of the school. It's a cheerful school (or so I hope) and that's why it's that wonderful bright green color.
The old welcome school sign has been salvaged and placed in front of the new building. Thanks to Simmington Hills, who made me this sign way back in 2007 when I first started Riverdale.
The entry to the school, with a view of the administration office. Signs are posted to let students, teachers and, visitors know that Riverdale Jr/Sr High is a safe zone, being drug free as well as smoke free.
Welcome to the administration office. It's the first place all visitors will enter upon entering the school. This is also where all new students must come to enroll for their education.
This is the secretary's desk. She's here to welcome visitors, to write late passes for tardy students, and to announce to the Principal when their are pupils waiting to speak with him.
Another shot of her desk just because I like it. LOL
A few chairs for seating as you wait to be seen by the Principal.
This is the lost and found nook. Lose something look here first!
This is the single bathroom in the admin. office.
The nurse's office is also located in the admin. office as well. There is a small cot for sick students to rest on.
And the nurse's "station," or desk. You can see some contraceptives sitting there. It's all part of a new sexual education program in the school. Many parents are against it but prevention is better then a flood of teen mothers and fathers.
This is the Principal's office. This is the view that he sees when speaking with students and sometimes parents.
This is the view students see.
The main hall after entering the school. The main entrance is on the West side of the school, where the administration office is located as well as the auditorium and the cafeteria.
The award display case, showing off all the awards won by the sports teams.
The view from the outside of the auditorium.
The view from the stage. The funky carpet is said to keep the teens awake and alert during gatherings.
Here is the cafeteria, stainless steel gives it a sleek and clean look.
Drink and snack machines as well as a change machine.
One last pic of the cafeteria.
There is no gym in this school but the kids won't miss it. As long as they have a basket ball hoop (which they almost didn't get.) And some nice greenery for students who don't like to play B-ball.
And some sitting area.
The hall that connect the West side of the school to the East, where all the classes are located.
Before I forget, next to the hall there is a post it board on display. Here is where students can get all current activities that are happening in the school. Oh, and if you've noticed that the school is carpeted, that's because here where I live, the suburban schools have carpeting. ;)
Entering the East side of the school you'll find the library. There are six computers, though they may look old they have all there is to offer for knowledge gaining. (Thanks Monique's hacked pc.)
The bookshelves and sitting area for students who want to read instead of surfing the web.
Next to the library is the main bathrooms. And drinking fountains!
I warn you I have a lot of bathroom spam because I love these downloads that I found! The soap dispenser and paper towel. How cool are they!
And if you're in need of a tampon this machine has you covered!
And a nifty paper seat cover and bar to help you get up if you get stuck.
And the ever present toilet paper dispenser and small trash can.
The boys have the same thing minus the small trash can and tampon machine. ;)
The hall way leading to the class rooms.
This is the combined 7th and 8th grade class room. They get the lovely view looking out onto the enclosed court yard. (Lucky kids!)
Another angle of their class, notice the teacher's desk. It was the smallest class room, so the teacher, sadly, has to suffer with the smallest desk.
This is the combined 9th and 10th grade class.
And their teacher's desk. All teacher's will be able to accessorize their work space once school starts.
Here is the teacher's desk in the 11th and 12th grades class room.
And another angle of their class as well.
Here is the art room. Students can learn how to paint. There is also a self for those special student's who's piece of art or picked to be put on display.
If painting isn't your thing you can learn how to make a plate using the pottery wheel.
The wash station. Have to keep everything clean and tidy.
The music room where students can beat away on the drums, ping on the piano...
Or scratch out a toon on the violin. The synthesizer is a good tool to work with too, so I've heard.
And last but not least is the shop room. There are two work benches...
Well, that's the school I hope you enjoyed the tour. Classes will begin September 2013.
The school is INCREDIBLE! I love the office, the nurse's station, the signs, and of course, having some tech rooms like flower arranging in a secondary school.
ReplyDeleteHave you considered uploading it?
Awww, that means so much to me that you like it! I was actually nervous with sharing the pictures, but then again you guys would see it in updates anyway. LOL
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought about uploading and sharing it. Maybe I will. Of course I'll have to load a copy of the lot into my test hood and add all maxis items. I hate long CC lists, maybe I'll leave a few CC in and post links to them.
It looks amazing! I'm in the process of building an elementary school (I downloaded a high school and I'm just going to redecorate it to my tastes), but it definitely won't look as good as this! It really looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe school looks amazing! So many great ideas and I love all the bright colors.
ReplyDeleteI want to renovate my schools so badly now!
May I ask where you got the students' desks? They look familiar but I don't think I have them.
Mizz Gin, thanks! I can't wait to see your school too! You will give us a tour, right? If not I will bug you til no end. LOL
ReplyDeleteSari, thank you! I'm glad everyone likes the school. You all are giving my building skills a boost. LOL
The set is by Sandy at Around the Sims, she made one for sims 1,2, and 3. And she's also put them in a nice little folder and made them buyable on community lots!
Very nice, great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks, hon! :D I'm really proud of it!
ReplyDeleteOh, this looks wonderful! I'm so impressed!
ReplyDeleteWeirdly, I think what I love the most are your hallways. They're very open and clean and I love all the glass doors so you can peek into the classrooms and other rooms.
At most schools here, the classrooms are carpeted but the hallways are all linoleum. Sullivan's school, with the wood floors, was all my imagination! LOL.
Thanks, Carla! It's not weird, I actually love the halls too!
ReplyDeleteOoh, now you've given me inspiration to finish my high school. I'm out of order. I built my two universities, then my primary school. Thankfully, the semester is almost over with and I can get back to building my hood and more importantly, posting. In game, I've played up to the second year on my first round, but on the site, I'm still in the Pre-Round.
ReplyDeleteLooking at your school, I now gotta do some CC hunting for all the school deco. I don't think I have too much posters and such.
Good job!
GIRRRL, you put your 'thug-thizzle' on this one!! You know what I'm sayyin?! OMGOODNESS!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE every bit of it! When I saw that hallway with all the yellow lockers, I just oozed with happiness, it's so bright and fun and CUTE!!
I love all the details!! And the OUTSIDE is wayyyyy cool! Beautiful landscaping...I didn't know you had that in you. LOL!
And, I'm happy you chose that color green for the exterior! It's such a cool color that pops. The school looks totally fresh and contemporary.
And can I say how nice those windows are too?! AV made WilTech for me with those windows, and I just love them!
Wow!! I love your school! It looks so nice and has everything the students need. Love the bathroom downloads!
ReplyDeleteLaurel Crossing, This is my third high school, so you are not alone. I build one way back when I first started playing Riverdale. At the time I thought it would be big enough for the children. I had no idea my sims would breed like rabbits.
ReplyDeleteThe majority of my downloads came from MTS, so start there. Also TSR. ;)
I want a tour of your schools too!
Simmington, Girl, I got MaD SkiLLz! ROFL I channeled my sim 1 days. I used to decorate the heck out of that game. I have no idea why I lost it. The 3d-ness of the game threw me for a loop. ROFL
So this is what contemporary is. You know I have no clue about that kind of stuff.
Shana, Thank you! I love the bathroom downloads too. I think when I play the lot I will be in there a lot. ROFL
