Haikou School, Hainan

A new school project of us in Haikou is under construction.

The total construction area is around 130,000 square meters, planned for 1,500 students in middle school and 2,100 students in high school. The school aims to be completed in 2019 and start to admit students in the same year.

In our design, a cloud-shaped learning center is placed in the center of the campus, flowing above a spacious library and plenty indoor-outdoor public spaces. Inside this “cloud” there are classrooms for the middle school and high school departments, just like a brain of the school and a communication hub for all students and teachers. At both sides of the “cloud” there are a maker space, an art center, a sports center and students dormitories located.

This creative form roots in the school’s innovative education ideas, which will adopt an optional class system and tutorial system, to enable students to conduct inquisitive and experiential learning in various themes and projects.
