Security, Simplicity Part of School Plan
- Large windows at the ends of the hallways overlook the parking lot, providing additional light, while also doubling as aids to security.
- Portions of the building, such as the gym and the theater, can be shut off as a security measure when the building is being used after regular school hours.
- The school’s simple structure, with few decorative details, helps make it easy to keep clean.
