To be completed in 2003, the 71,000 sf elementary school is spread
across two floors, with double height spaces adjacent to the
courtyards. The plan at left illustrates the combination of typical
school program spaces - classrooms, administration, gym and auditorium
contained in orthogonal bars at the left, right and bottom of
the plan - with the more atypical dining and library spaces,
among others, bordering the blob-shaped courtyards.
