The school’s “heart” serves as both a central gathering space and a welcoming area for the community.
The new design offers easy access to the auditorium and second-floor gymnasium.


The old media center’s dim and uninviting atmosphere is transformed into a bright, central “lantern”, symbolizing a commitment to learning and serving as a focal point of the new building. Its design is typical of the onus on daylighting throughout the school, also seen in classrooms and the gymnasium.

The design maximizes flexible space and ease of navigation throughout the building.

This flexibility is seen even in hallways, where students can enjoy spaces for socializing, learning, and collaboration.

The new design elevates the performing arts with improved resources and a new auditorium.

The new school boasts strong connections to the outdoors.
