The design of the school, which will cater to 1,150 students from ages 11 to 18, has been planned to create a sense of order. It also aims to provide a wide variety of space for formal, informal and serendipitous learning.
The design features a community ‘front door’ displaying the specialties of the school. The central heart space links to four ‘commons’ acting as gateways to the thematic or subject areas of performing arts, business and enterprise, science and design, and technology.
There will also be a 350-seat theater in the school. Responding to micro climate, the design put emphasis on maximizing natural ventilation and sustainable timber construction to form the central hub space.
