The new High School is a bold and forward-looking approach to education and the environment. The LEED-Certified, 7-story open air structure doubles academic space while maximizing green space and providing state-of-the-art facilities that support 21st Century education. Bright colors, sculptural forms, natural materials, and crisp design are inspired by Guadalajara’s cultural heritage. Drawing from Mexico’s cortile buildings, courtyards, and public sculptures, the design embraces the city’s architectural history and fosters a strong sense of community. The project connects classrooms to outdoors, incorporating lush green space and utilizing Guadalajara’s climate in its sustainable design. Native plantings are deployed strategically, using water-intensive plants sparingly. Sustainability is integrated in all aspects of the building’s design and construction process, focusing on daylighting, solar control, passive cooling, thermal mass, shading, and natural ventilation.
Flexible academic spaces support the school’s varied teaching and learning styles. Indoor classrooms have acoustical wood panels and glass walls, establishing verbal and visual connections between students and faculty in and outside the classroom. Students can connect, reflect, restore, and energize in outdoor classrooms, garden balconies, and rooftop terraces. Ultimately the project is a distinctive, location-based, sustainable, learning environment that celebrates its place in a fast-growing city.
