"Wonderful idea of putting the facility in a high rise building in a densely populated area. Even with all the problems inherent to this adaptation, the result is very pleasant with well thought spaces and flexible furniture, taking the most advantage of facades to get spaces well lit."

"The facility accentuates the industrial context of the school with partitions of varying heights made of corrugated, metal siding located between desks. Pendant lights are functional and track lighting emphasizes student gallery walls. Flexible open space can be used for whole-school meetings and projects. A demountable stage and theater lighting convert the area into performance space for concerts and student exhibitions. A remarkable space, serving remarkable students."
