架构师提供的文本描述。堆砌成块的预制混凝土面板给芝加哥的这所小学增添了一个有趣的角色。为了响应业主的微薄预算，该项目的彩色面板将学校变成了一种学习工具，其堆叠元素的构造表达解释了负载如何以一种年幼的学生能够理解的方式搬运到地面上。地面和抛光的面板改变了一个本来常见的建筑组成部分，并提供了一个简单，但崇高的性质。
Text description provided by the architects. Precast concrete panels stacked like blocks lend a playful character to this elementary school addition in Chicago. Responding to the owner’s modest budget, the project’s colored panels turn the school into a learning tool, its tectonic expression of stacked elements explains the way loads are carried to the ground in a way that can be understood by young school children. The ground and polished finish of the panels transforms an otherwise commonplace building component, and offers the institution a simple yet noble character.

第三层的体育馆和娱乐室堆满了图书馆、教室和计算机实验室空间，为社区在前两层提供服务。充分利用其有限的城市空间，一个屋顶游乐场，让学生看到下面的街道；这样，这个孩子成为学校的身份。
A gymnasium and recreation room on the third level are stacked over library, classroom and computer lab spaces, which serve the community on the first two floors. Making full use of its space-limited urban site, a rooftop playground enables students to view down into the street below; in this way this children become the school’s identity.
在这个LEED银建筑材料的选择，其成本，耐久性和可持续性，与较高比例的地方制造，提取和加工材料(预制混凝土，混凝土板和块)构成主要的建筑元素，并完成含有回收的内容。学校提供的节能汽车和学校的“绿色”屋顶使建筑对城市热岛效应的贡献降到最低。
Materials in this LEED Silver-building are chosen for their cost, durability and sustainability, with a high percentage of local-manufactured, extracted and processed materials (precast concrete, concrete slab and blocks) constituting the major building elements, and finishes containing recycled content. School drop off preferences fuel-efficient vehicles and the school’s “green” roof minimizes the building’s contribution to the urban heat island effect.
