Designed under the concept of renewable resources, the proposed school will be constructed using materials that reduce or eliminate environmental contaminants, and systems for heating and ventilating that can bring in 100% fresh air for occupants.

The building will use non-combustible materials erected on a steel-framed building, and the building’s orientation was designed to maximize renewable resources – the primary wings will be built on an east-west axis and classroom windows will face north and south, which allows the use of natural lighting to assist in the thermal heating of the school. According to preliminary, conservative estimates, this design can help reduce energy costs by $50,000 per year.

In addition, a state-of-the-art heating system, a centralized food preparation area, and the centralization of five schools into one will save in transportation, heating fuel and energy costs.
