Board Updated on High School Floor Plans.  (Middleton Cross Plains Area School District, 2/25/2020)
She said current plans call for there to be multiple commons, cafeteria and library-media center spaces, which is a good way to manage activity in large-group spaces. The goal is to not have make students travel too far to get services so there will also be a large student services hub on south end on the second floor, while the north end will have two hubs, on the second and third floors. 
The current plans call for six smaller learning communities to make the school feel smaller. This will allow for departmental and inter-departmental collaboration and also make the building flexible for teachers.

It's the area designated as "practice/green space" and "parking".

From psge 14 of the MCPASD School-Community Connection (school year 2018-19)
The rebuilt and expanded MHS will remain on the same site it has been located on since 1929.  The school will have three stories in most areas, a capacity for 3,000 students, and more parking stalls.  Hallways will be twice their original width.  The school will also have enhanced safety and security features.  The school will be broken into houses, plus include multiple library media centers, dining commons, and student services.  This will help make the school feel smaller, provide students with more opportunities to access services, as well as offer quiet areas for focusesd learning and research. 

Work is slated to be done over two phases, with the north portion opening in fall 2021.  The remainder of the school will open fall 2022.

Rendering of what it will look like in the fall of 2021
