The main task of rebuilding the school is to get a uniform spatial volume, in which the existing school building and the designed volume interact to create a comfortable use of the school building.
A compact volume whose geometry allows for circular, non-overlapping flows of students and school-visitors. The layout of the building is easy to observe and easy to navigate.
