There is a controlledquality of light via the connecting atrium spaces and a sense of continuousunceasing activity. Self-directed learning is at the heart of this building and,being a middle school, the independence given to young learners is furtherfacilitated by the design. Through containment of functions the designpromotes the freedom for students to take ownership of the entire facility.The external façade treatment is informed by the architecturally stronger,memorable statements on the Campus. The Architect has deliberatelyarranged the form to be an emblematic image for the school with a sense ofarrival and entry that it always had lacked and reinforces the character andsense of permanence of the school within the community.
