The school is situated over an 11-acre area with 177,000 square feet of space, including theater and performance spaces, music studio, modern classrooms, green spaces, sports facilities, and art studio spaces. The scope of work for this project included selective demolition, site fill and earthwork, new concrete foundations, structural steel, drywall and metal studs, carpentry and stone, roofing and skylights, doors and windows, finishes, specialties, equipment, furnishings, fire suppression, plumbing, HVAC and electrical to accommodate classrooms and support facilities for Grades 5 - 12.
