The west Clackamas High School campus lies on {{convert|42|acre}} with a small [[wetland]] nearby. The building itself has {{convert|265354|sqft|m2|abbr=}} of floor space and is much larger than the older school.<!-- how much larger? --> It has four classroom hallways on two floors, a commons area, an arts wing, and an athletic wing, centered on an administrative ring in the middle of the school.
 
The classroom hallways are mostly white and are on the north end of the school with 100 and 200 halls on the east side, and 300 and 420 halls on the west. The commons area is on the north side of the administrative offices, at the entrance to 100 and 200 halls, and is primarily used for dining and some multi-purpose use. The arts wing of the school is centered on the schools' [[auditorium]] and contains rooms for art classes, choir classes, and band classes, as well as a wood shop, a stage shop, and changing and makeup rooms. The athletic wing contains a large gym, a smaller upper gym, locker rooms, a wrestling room, and a weight training room. The administrative ring, located in the center of the school, contains the main office, the bookkeeper's office, the attendance office, the student management office, the schools' career and vocation center, the athletic office, and the counseling office, all centered on a small courtyard.
