This "Academic Village" transforms science education with a stimulating design that encourages interdisciplinary learning. Student-centered "home bases" cluster around labs and studios, while the building and its grounds demonstrate sustainable engineering and design.

The school's cutting-edge Instructional Media Center (IMC) and recreational facilities serve both students and community members, reflecting its roots in a unique public/private partnership.

Features include geothermal heating and cooling, photovoltaic panels, energy recovery units, variable-frequency drives, and high-efficiency motors
