City landmark
Ogden High School is recognized as an architectural landmark in Ogden, and was designed by the architectural firm of Hodgson and McClenahan. Other buildings of historical interest designed by Hodgson and McClenahan include Peery's Egyptian Theatre, the Regional Forest Service Building, and the City and County Building. In 2004, the National Trust for Historic Preservation provided a $10,000,000 matching grant to restore Ogden High School. A bond was passed by the district for the remodeling of Ogden High School including a new cafeteria, gym complex, and performing arts center in the first stage. The blueprint process began in December 2006.
Renovations
The main parking lots and the ceramics building were demolished in the summer of 2007. New parking lots for faculty and visitors were built on the north end facing 28th Street, and the south end in the former 29th Street corridor. A commons area is being constructed on the site of the old parking lot.
The original OHS cafeteria closed in March 2008 for an expansion/remodeling project.
Renovations of the school include removing asbestos, building a gym complex and science labs, and restoring the auditorium and the rotunda areas. Construction of a new state-of-the-art gym/athletic complex has been completed and the pool is being refurbished to become an eight-lane competition pool which was slated to reopen in winter 2014.
Further changes are taking place at the high school in order to better accommodate the three smaller learning communities.
