This project is a superb example of the architect’s command of the building section. Carefully working with its context, the new facility comprises a series of learning terraces elegantly stepping down the site. The robust street presence contrasts with a lighter and more permeable perimeter facing the school’s interior. Internal spaces and circulation pathways exhibit a clear planning logic with the library and learning commons at the heart, binding the school together and encouraging interaction. The cohesive sequence of innovative learning environments is an inspiring place for students to be themselves, while staying connected to a larger learning community.
