Judges comments: Not only is this a 21st century school of its kind, the mindset and thought to the layout of the school looks and feels more like a college than a high school campus. The organization of open spaces, view corridors, collaboration zones, classrooms, and labs mimic the college campus like setting. Smart design with the utilization of vegetated roofs to improve energy efficiency and comfort, and a PV farm over the parking lot offsets 231% of annual energy use.
