架构师提供的文本描述。人类的探究是重组这所高中校园的主要驱动力，这所学校为了容纳不断增长的学生人口而进行了多次增援。设计团队的研究指出了困扰这种增长的两个主要问题：缺乏组织，以及社区的缺乏。
Text description provided by the architects. Human inquiry was the primary driver in the reorganization of this high school campus, which had undergone multiple additions to accommodate a growing student population. The design team’s research pointed to two primary issues plaguing this growth: a lack of organization, and consequently, a lack of community.

我们通过将公地、自助餐厅、图书馆和媒体中心整合成一个高度显眼的学术核心，围绕着两个充满阳光和复兴的庭院，解决了项目的组织清晰和透明度问题。它的核心是一个社会和连接的“客厅”，内部/外部和社会/学术程序之间的界限模糊。在这个核心中，社区可以进入的空间与具有丰富物质结构的学生空间是不同的。
We addressed the issues of organizational clarity and transparency of program by consolidating commons, cafeteria, library and media center into a highly visible academic core, nestled between two light-filled and rejuvenated courtyards. The core serves as a social and connective “living room,” with blurred boundaries between interior/exterior and social/academic programs. Within this core, spaces accessible to the community are distinguished from student spaces with rich material texture.

为了进一步支持明确的路向和流通，一个新的建筑“语言”被覆盖在校园的多种规模。在某些情况下，这种语言是字面的，如盲文标志；在某些情况下，材料，如嵌入在长时间运行的储物柜或外部建筑面板中嵌入的图形模式，这些面板在外观上的过渡；在某些情况下是概念性的，就像在外部划线处过滤的点缀光线一样。
To further support clear wayfinding and circulation, a new building “language” was overlaid upon the campus at a multitude of scales. In some cases this language is literal, as in the braille signage; in some cases material, as in the graphic patterns embedded in the long runs of lockers or exterior building panels that transition tonally across the facade; and in some cases conceptual, as in the dappled light that filters through the exterior scrim.
