Located in the heart of Chicago, the high school spans across five floors of the Bell Federal Building, one of the city’s oldest high-rises. The non-traditional school, which uses a Blended Learning model, mixing teacher-led instruction and individualized, software-based learning, welcomed students from 40 different neighborhoods in its first year.

Glass partition walls and clerestory windows are used to bring as much daylight as possible in the open design concept. Seem 1 Acoustic Bidirectional & Unlit baffles are scattered throughout many areas of the school, providing a lighting solution that also fosters a positive learning environment by dampening noise levels and reverberations from hard surfaces.
