The facade leans out over the adjacent sporting area , shading itself from the hot tropical sun , while three trees on the roof keep the overall structure cool and provide an area of respite and elevated views of the campus . The variegated facades of the building are a metaphor for an education which encourages the simultaneous development of unity around a common curriculum , and individuality around the personal development of each and every student .

This is further expounded by the myriad of interactive spaces interspersed within the design as well as very sensible detailing in the learning spaces . �
