Front Entrance – the facility was designed to accommodate 700 students.

The green hanging ceiling baffles in the Media Center mimic blades of tall grass.

The student dining area features ceiling clouds in shades of blue to resemble a waterfall.

The biophilic design concept for the school is an abstraction of children playing in a stream: The main hallways feature lily pad lights and wave-like acoustical wall panels in shades of blue.

Exterior canopy structures along with green mullions of the storefront window system suggest water grasses.
