The new three-story, 63 room classroom building replaces the existing 1970's Core Classroom building. It is designed as a simple bent bar with classrooms along a double-loaded corridor. With a campus population of 2,400 students, the building houses all of the campuse's standard and special education classrooms. The building is fronted by a plaza which is flanked by the Library and Foreign Languages building and is a popular gathering space for students. Horizontal window bands are offset by four large stairwells and vertical mechanical shafts.
