On the one hand, 6 teaching blocks for 6 grades gives students and teachers in each grade a sense of belonging in their own space.

On the other hand, different color for different teaching block is convenient for people to recognize every grade’s location and save the cost of construction at the same time.

In spite of very limited ground, the design also provides the campus with a variety of outdoor facilities surrounding the teaching blocks, including the courtyard, corridor and platform, enabling the students and teachers of different grades to interact with each other much more and bringing vitality to the campus.
