Built on the 11.5-acre site of the original school, the 122,815-square-foot campus includes 57 classrooms designed for more than 800 students, with capacity for 1,176.

Academic spaces include a media center with reading room, maker space, art and music rooms, science and skills labs, a full-service kitchen and cafeteria, and administrative offices. A single point of entry enhances security while supporting community access for afterschool and extracurricular activities.

Two central courtyards define the campus. One provides shaded green space for outdoor learning and flexible play, while the other, inspired by European plazas, incorporates an art patio, science area, and outdoor dining. Additional features include a covered play area with storage and restrooms, a redesigned bus loop and parent drop-off, and safe pedestrian and bicycle access from surrounding neighborhoods.

A new clock tower at the main entry continues the tradition of wayfinding established by the original administration building, creating an iconic campus landmark.
