The plan of the building is organized according to the students’ arrival and the sequence of the teaching program. The students arrive at a point distant from the building and walk through the landscape with glimpses of the building appearing along the path; the path rises to the front door of the building, and once inside, you look out from a high point on the site to where you have been and to the activities that will be part of the outdoor experience.

The two-storey building is wrapped by a structural landscape earth-wall on three sides. There is an upper orientation classroom and a lower working project room that breaks out into the outdoor classroom. The interior is spare and tightly organized and the materials used in the building’s construction are deliberately transparent to allow the natural environment outside the building to dominate.
