They need to be comfortable, healthful, safe, and secure. Community colleges and high schools, often intended as joint-use facilities for other community programs, must provide accessibility, flexibility, and durability. Because of year-round use, it is particularly important to manage operational costs, and that requires life-cycle cost analysis.

While all K—12 schools today need to accommodate computers, secondary schools have greater need for integrated technologies that support more sophisticated curricula and performance arts. Secondary schools are more likely to be used for community events, from public meetings or performances in the auditorium, to athletic competitions in the gymnasium, or the natatorium. The site plan for this —student school is a model of environmental responsiveness.

Thirty percent of the total site area has been retained in its natural state. Water runoff is also strictly controlled. The water detention area, holding tank, wetlands, and ponds treat the water effectively and at the same time serve as a first rate environmental education lab for students.
