Architect Dan Engen, president of VEBH Architects, explains that the “vision for the school came from the district’s strong educational philosophy of developing a compartmentalized building program focused on the student/teacher relationship and advancing team relationships.” In another sense, the configuration subtly suggests farmhouses, apropos given that the school was built on old farmland. And on another tack, the efficiency of the building systems continues to signal the environmental awareness and programs of the school, for which it received a 2019 Green Ribbon award.
