The focal point of this complex is a two-toned brick entry portico topped-off by a dark green metal pyramid roof.

The main entry hall, with large windows and indirectly lit peaked ceiling, leads to the central core of the complex. This area serves as the cafeteria, study hall, commons, and lobby for the gymnasium and auditorium. The multiple use of this space is a good example of shared functions and activities needed to bring a large program together within a tight budget.

The auditorium complex, which is frequently used by the community, is adjacent to a combination instrumental and vocal music classroom.
