The new school building, which is two stories tall and compact, fits in nicely with the city surroundings. It creates three clear areas: a school garden in the northwest, parking space and another school garden in the northeast, and a big open area in the southeast. The auditorium on the ground floor is bright and looks out onto the open area and school garden, and it's the main part of the school. The workshop rooms in the northwest have direct access to the outside, while the clusters on the first and second floors are places for students to work together and interact.

Outside, there's a big open area, parking spots, drop-off points, bus stops, and a fake grass sports field under some trees. The building is carefully planned to help the school work well and make a fun place for learning.
