It comprised grades 9-12 of the Pk-12 Malcolm Price Laboratory School. It closed in July 2012 under controversy and university budget cuts. It was mostly demolished in June 2013, save for the athletics Wing; part of this wing was re-purposed into the UNI Childhood Development center, previously housed in the building's east wing.
