The classroom spaces are arranged along a central axial core containing toilet rooms, utility spaces, and storage with lofts above. Administrative offices are housed in one module of the rectangular building that was extremely economical to build. Energy efficiency is provided through numerous skylights, auto-dimmed compact fluorescent lighting and natural ventilation. The complex includes play areas, parking, gardens, outdoor shade structures and a carefully maintained existing grapefruit grove.
