Why do Westfield HS and South County HS have identical buildings?

[Anonymous]

I woke up from a nap on my way and honestly thought I was at south cohnty before reading the name. It’s weird.

If the property will allow building the same building at multiple locations, why not save on the design fees?

There are ESs that have the exact same design as well... down to the koi pond!

Marshall and Edison were identical before renovation and are pretty close after.

I believe that there is a limited number of arch/eng contractors that bid on most of the larger school projects in this region. No reason to assume that they wouldn't recycle designs, or adapt designs for different footprints.

West Springfield/Oakton/Herndon are triplets.

It's all about the money, honey.

Almost every McDonalds looks the same.

Lee, Madison and Stuart also were identical when first built although they look less alike now following renovations.

Hughes and Rocky Run are the same floor plan.

I'm shocked that this concept is foreign to OP.

That's pretty diabolical. I've had a kid at Westfield for four years, and I still get lost there. And at back-to-school nights, the students they have posted everywhere to help parents NEVER know how to explain where rooms are. I'm not sure they even know. Maze is right.
