"The firm's second open-plan educational facility is a return to the one-room-schoolhouse concept. Various distinct learning areas, shaped by opposing geometric grids, are used to create functional diversity. Entrance into the square one-story building (the first grid) is through a diagonal tube (the second grid). Partitioned spaces for offices, art classes, and mechanical equipment are aligned on this second grid. A third grid is defined by a central square learning area, from which small sets of stairs descend to a series of distinctly shaped classrooms. This overall configuration encourages movement from one area to another, stimulating curiosity, interconnecting different subjects, and encouraging children to advance both in terms of academics and independence."
