In developing this science building for a leading private boarding school, educational opportunity was maximized by co-locating three academic disciplines: science, mathematics, and technology.

The building takes advantage of grade changes between the higher and the lower campus levels. Architecture is extended into the landscape and building walls become site retaining walls. Program spaces are filled in between the walls, stepping down towards their ends and forming a terraced green landscape with garden roofs throughout.
