The school’s “heart” serves as both a central gathering space and a welcoming area for the community.
The new heart 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 even 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 design prioritizes performing arts with improved resources and a visually prominent auditorium.
The new design features a strong connection to the outdoors.
The central space is open and transparent—serving almost as an outdoor space between two buildings.
This design element expands the usable space available to students beyond the confines of the traditional school building.
The field design includes a new synthetic multi-use field and six-lane track with sports lighting, scoreboards, terraced seating, and portable buildings for equipment storage.
