Default Good map of a high school

Let's face it we are all lazy, so thats why I'm asking. Does anyone have a good map of a highschool that is Maptools ready? I need one for my "Teen Titans" style GURPS game I am trying to kick off

What kind of school are you thinking off? Mutants and Masterminds 2nd Edition had a few splats about their version of Xavier's that was made to train young superheroes. No doubt those will have a floor plan that's usable for your cause if you're looking for an institution with built-in danger room.

Otherwise, Google's Image Search gives a few example floor plans as the first few results.

I can't find anything "Map Tools ready", I'm afraid!

Their Hero High book (the one dealing the most with Claremont Academy) has a map of the outside of the high school, but it lacks any maps of the inside or the Danger Room or anything. It's also not a particularly useful map for MapTools, since it's only a very large overview.

I wonder if too many such searches would put you on a list.

Maybe you could redraw the map in maptools?

This claims to be a "High School of the Future," although it lacks exclamation marks. On the other hand, it's fairly comprehensive, so maybe it can be useful?

I'll guess that one search about 50 high schools would be less list worthy than fifty searches about one high school.

HEhe, I have also gotten somewhat paranoid on my google searches for role playing games.
Most of those involve rather criminal things all the time don't they? And weird.
And weird and criminal.

Yea I've found a few map of high schools with a google search. I was just checking to see if anyone else has already done one, in order to save time.

To clarify, I am looking for a plain public high school. Until I get a good interior floorplan I might stick with a manifestation incident occurring outside on school grounds.

As I write it, the scene begins after the students have been evacuated because of a fire in the chemistry lab. Then some jocks from the football team start picking on one of the nerdy kids, typical right. The wimp get shoved into a mud puddle and that is when he first manifests his mutant powers.

Theres more but I haven't finished the adventure yet.

I think there may be a disconnect. What do you mean by "Good interior floorplan" that isn't covered by something like this?

Or this?

I don't know about being Maptools compatible, but didn't the old GURPS Supers adventure School of Hard Knocks have a map of the school in it? (I don't have my copy handy, so I can't check right now.)
