Rendering by Northwest Architectural. The building was designed on three levels to take advantage of the natural slope of the site. Site planning sought to preserve forested areas during the construction. Play areas are located on a terrace above, while parking for 700 cars blends in with the topography below the school. The school design includes a plaza, a commons area to provide separate lobbies for after-hours activities, a clock tower near the main entrance, and a colonnade to reduce the scale of the gym.
Classrooms cluster around three shared activity areas, accommodating the learning center concept.
A fourth learning center and aquatic center are planned for the future. Site development includes baseball and softball fields, an all-weather red cinder track around a practice football field and a multipurpose playfield. The construction work for the project has included normal concrete work, masonry work, steel framing, roofing and waterproofing, doors, windows, hardware, flooring, interior and exterior finishes, casework, and complete mechanical and electrical systems, food service equipment, gym equipment, folding partitions, fire protection, and communications, signal, data, and electronic distribution systems.
