In the peri-urben suburbs of Colorado, such as the Lewis-Palmer district, high schools often double up as centres for social, cultural and recreational activities for the community. Oriented parallel to the main N-S interstate motorway and the mountain range, the design of the Palmer Ridge high school attempts to formalise the street character of this area with the street facade holding within it the main circulation of the school, creating a strong image that can always be associated with the school.
