This school was designed for 1,500 students. The plan was designed as a prototype and is expandable or contractible so that it can be utilized where demographics required a larger or smaller capacity middle school. The prototype was also designed in order to eaily incorporate future expansions into each grade level pod.

The prototypical school is designed to have identifiable grade levels with a centralized area for exploratory subjects and a media center. The administrative area is located to provide supervisory control over the classroom areas, as well as the more public 650-seat auditorium and 600-seat gymnasium.
