With an L-shaped building that completes a courtyard providing a science department, the building, inside and outside, feels like a top university department rather than a school.

The collegiate plan, with a beautifully made concrete colonnade, reinforces not just a sense of permanence, but of seriousness, even gravitas, that will surely lift every young mind.
