The administration building faces
the plaza and is easily visible and accessible to parents
and the community, as well as allowing observation of arrivals
to the school. The Canteen and Activity Room are centrally
located and open visually and physically to the spine, the
courtyards and the school’s open space.
All of the buildings are designed to Ecologically Sustainable
Design principles by incorporating natural ventilation, assisted
by "thermal chimneys" to ensure a managed supply
of fresh air with supplementary heating and cooling using
ducted conditioned air. The design detailing exposes the structure
and materials, where appropriate, as elements of the learning
program, and students can monitor and alter the environment
conditions as part of the curriculum.
