In addition to its performance, we just thought this would be an absolutely delightfully environment for learning. What a great place to go to school both in terms of the setting and the facilities.
Strong water story with replenishing the creek.
The quality of the interior spaces and views were outstanding in this project.
Because of the design of the school and the way it was done, students and the faculty they have now created a sustainability day as part of an annual event. So it has really inspired a consciousness beyond just what happens in the course of experiencing the building; it is imbedding those principle and values in a larger way. It represents another example of great outdoors spaces for kids who are so often confined to classrooms.
