In addition to fighting climate change, School With A View aims to fight another crisis that is going on—childhood obesity. In keeping with sustainability, the existing building is going to be kept and an addition is going to be built on top and off the back. The roof addition will accommodate the gymnasium and the rear addition will accommodate a grand staircase that will act as the main form of vertical circulation for the building. Both additions will be entirely glass to capitalize on the unobstructed, panoramic views of the entire city.
