Whether large-span spaces should be located on the ground floor or the rooftop is an endless debate. However, in this case, we decided to place the auditorium on the ground floor, with the specialized classrooms above.

Placing the auditorium, the largest volume, on the ground floor significantly reduces the sense of oppression on the campus. The specialized classrooms are no longer overshadowed by the auditorium, but instead retain their inherently elongated form. The auditorium’s rooftop becomes a large playground in front of the long row of classrooms. Children on the ground floor can run directly into the auditorium, access the grand outdoor staircase to the BIF swimming pool, and even access the playground above. The diverse activities, vibrant activities, and vibrant colors will create a captivating campus scene.
