Text description provided by the architects. In spite of its large size, the MAC fits neatly into the campus, forming and animating outdoor spaces that collaborate with the existing buildings. To the south, a new middle school recreation yard is framed by a broad wood deck for quiet play and a tall folded rebound wall. Built using shotcrete against single-sided formwork, this articulated surface encourages creative ball play and invented games. Numerals and symbols cast in the concrete describe the facetted geometry, a pedagogical tool developed in concert with the School’s math teachers.
