Located in Wimauma, Florida, Aquilla J. Morgan High School is a massive 176 million dollar project sitting on an 87-acre greenfield site. Built to accommodate over 3,400 students, this is the largest high school ever constructed in Hillsborough County—the nation’s seventh-largest school system. The campus features nine main buildings, ranging from one to three stories, utilizing a combination of tilt-up and cast-in-place concrete.
To meet the structural and environmental goals of such a large-scale project, the team prioritized a sustainable, low-carbon concrete mix. Slag cement was the primary tool used to achieve this, offering a greener alternative to traditional portland cement.
Beyond the environmental benefits, the inclusion of slag cement proved to be a highly economical choice, reducing the overall cost of the concrete compared to standard mix designs. This efficiency allowed the district to focus resources on the school's state-of-the-art facilities, which include culinary and automotive labs, electronic sports arenas, and electric vehicle charging stations throughout the campus.
The Aquilla J. Morgan High School project is a perfect example of how slag cement can be used in the public sector to deliver high-performance, sustainable educational infrastructure while remaining fiscally responsible for the community.
