这座最先进的建筑旨在重塑初中的体验。该设计将学校组织成由走廊和学术学习套件连接的特定级别的教室，学生可以在这里合作。这些空间为小组工作和基于项目的学习提供了灵活的开放环境。这些区域还结合了日光，LED技术和太阳能传感器。
学校的公共区域包括es a 5,184-sq-ft concrete slab with just one saw-cut joint. The 118-ft by 87-ft slab was achieved with a single pour. The exposed concrete—called MagicSlab—was polished, giving it a durability similar to terrazzo at a cost comparable to carpet. Maintenance costs of the floor will be a fraction of that for traditional floor coverings. The decision to use MagicSlab in the common area led to the design of the “learning stair”—a wooden staircase made of concrete and steel that extends into the polished concrete. The stairs also serve as seating for presentations and classroom collaboration. The tiers include outlets for electronic devices, while built-in seating keeps students off the concrete stairs and reduces tripping.
Davis School District partnered with the city of Layton to create an expanded gymnasium with twice as much space to serve both students and the community. MagicSlab also was placed in the gym. Though covered with wooden flooring, the 220-ft by 110-ft gym floor has only one saw cut. The gym also includes an elevated concrete running track. The school’s mechanical system utilizes two-stage evaporative cooling in place of air conditioning and delivers fresh air through displacement ventilation to save energy and provide a healthier learning space. The project was completed on time and 5% under the original estimate.
