One of the most distinctive design features of these intermediate schools is the inclusion of roof monitors for daylit classrooms. Other features include rainwater cisterns for landscape irrigation, sustainable stormwater management, low-emitting finish materials and built-in teaching tools for a sustainable education program geared toward 5th-6th graders.
