And when werewolf attacks occurred and when storms raged, sports classes were canceled and students had to play dodge ball. There were also supernatural events such as Amber's burning hands or when a monster attacked Buffy. The exterior of Sunnydale High School belongs to a real building. The shots of the school's exteriors were taken at Torrance High School in the southern California city of Torrance.
The old library was visited only by the most dedicated students or by members of the Scooby Gang, who also spent much of their time in the Lounge area. The interior of the school became more modern when it was rebuilt and the site of the old library was converted into the principal's office so that the area could be controlled by Robin Wood, the principal at the time, who in addition was a vampire slayer.
In the process of creating a series, many changes and adaptations occur until the final result is achieved, which is what the fans remember. Later, the creators of the TV show changed it to Sunnydale High School, possibly hoping that the spectators would remember in a simple way one of the most emblematic places of the city and of the series. The school had a swimming pool which was used by the swimming team. In the changing room, the students who practiced this sport had access to the steam room.
In this service room, there was a well with students turned into fish, due to steroids that were provided by Professor Marin. Through this well, and the sewers it was connected to, monsters could roam around the city and the school. The school was always surrounded by supernatural events, which many people ignored or underestimated. For example, Principal Snyder blamed gangs, as mysterious deaths always occurred. Despite this, the student community continued with its life in a normal way.
Xander had a phrase for the situation: "Something weird is going on"; and the football team could have good seasons, they just had to keep the deaths among the players under control. In Sunnydale High School was destroyed in a fight with demonic beings, during this fight Principal Snyder and Mayor Wilkins were killed.
In the school was rebuilt at the same location, above Hellmouth. Despite the growth of supernatural phenomena, police authorities often concealed the evidence. In the city was completely absorbed by Hellmouth, following a mass evacuation. The reason for this destruction and apocalypse happening right in Sunnydale is the location of the city, just over Hellmouth, although there is also evidence of several similar spots in other parts of the world. In the basement of the school is the seal of Danzalthar, related to the Hellmouth.
The series also was nominated multiple times for Television Critics Association Awards, winning the Heritage Award in Buffy the Vampire Slayer is set in the fictional California town of Sunnydale. Most of the show was shot on location in Los Angeles and other areas of Southern California. The series was reportedly dependent on location shooting, as the production budget only allowed for a few permanent sets to be crafted.
Some of those permanent sets included the high school's interior, the Summers house, the Master's underground lair, Angel's mansion, and Giles' apartment, among others. This was also the high school used for Beverly Hills, Some other high school scenes, though, were shot elsewhere, such as scenes at the swimming pool in the second season's twentieth episode, "Go Fish," which were shot at the University of Southern California's physical education building. And scenes at the football stadium in season 2's second episode, "Some Assembly Required," were filmed at the West High School in Torrance.
Scenes that took place at The Bronze, Sunnydale's nightclub , were filmed at the show's studios, but exterior shots were of a warehouse in Santa Monica, California. The Bronze encompasses a stage for live music, a dance floor, a pool table, a balcony, and a bar. The shots of the Delta Zeta Kappa fraternity house were actually of the Wattles Mansion, a historic house, and park in Hollywood, and the real location used for the Alpha Delta fraternity house, meanwhile, was a house in the Country Club Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Scenes that take place in Downtown Sunnydale were filmed mostly in the downtown area of Santa Monica. Santa Monica's 3rd Street Promenade, in particular, stood in as the main street of Sunnydale in several episodes.
