DESIGN - The new building is sensitively linked to the house by a glass passageway that continues through the school as a main corridor. The steel-framed glass connector provides access from the old structure to the new structure at all levels. Walking from one to the other offers views of both old and new as well as the historic neighborhood.

Auditoriums and gymnasiums are typically without natural light. In this school, they both have window walls, facing the east. The gymnasium window wall allows the natural environment to become part of the physical education experience. Both auditorium and gymnasium require little to no artificial lighting on most days.
