The new school will have a 16,000-square-foot main gymnasium. a media center, with 20-feet high ceilings, performing arts center with a two-story, glass-encased atrium and 800-seat auditorium, a main administration building, a large, landscaped courtyard, and an academic area. The streets around the building will include bike paths and dozens of parking spaces will be set aside for fuel-efficient vehicles.
