谷泉高中是一座燈塔，自豪地坐落在校園的一個顯眼角落，代表著社區對教育的歷史性承諾。圖書館外部的半透明發光體由上方對比鮮明的計算機圈體所支撐，這兩個體積為該地區打造了一個新的身份，因為該地區作為大體積的公路交通，現在已經成為一個與學校有關的地標。發光的圖書館提醒人們以前的溫室曾經是這個場地上成千上萬次日落的視覺標記。

當學生們像潮水般涌入輕質聚碳酸酯板和巨大的石籠墻之間的建筑時，宏偉的入口向校園內歷史悠久的石材建筑致敬。石籠筐內裝著來自距離校園不到一英里的當地采石場手工放置石灰石，而建筑物的其余部分則覆蓋著免維護的金屬板。金屬面板型材隨機化，以創造一種獨特的節奏，在典型的中小學校園中重振平凡的金屬面板的表面質量。

這座兩層樓高、9-12年級的設施為已經空置30年的鄉村校園主要建筑注入了活力。第二層的體量跨越了石頭和聚碳酸酯的形式，覆蓋了入口，而由此產生的外部空間則成為了一個室外科學實驗室和未來的綠色屋頂。這兩個外部空間提供了校園高處景觀的回歸，并用實驗和農業開發激發了學習的熱情。外部設計動作集中而簡單，在提供強大的室外體驗的同時，用定制的細節，如由建筑師自己的制造車間建造的吉祥物標牌和門拉手，始終提供高質量的室內體驗。

內部空間是教育過程的畫布，每個房間，包括看門人的壁櫥，都在自然光下清洗。這些現代而原始的室內設計讓鋼結構在公共空間、圖書館和計算機實驗室中傲然屹立。干凈的帆布飾有天然木色調，可在需要用于建筑安全、圖書館借書和學術榮譽時提供溫暖并吸引你的注意力。雕刻的木板條形式創造功能并接受接近的學生和訪客。定制設計的HVAC格柵也采用了極簡主義的方法來詳細描述這些形式，這些格柵去除了典型且笨重的金屬制品。谷泉高中是一座21世紀的校舍，對學生而言是充滿活力的、令人向往的以及處于前沿的；對于教師來說是具有尊嚴的、舒適和安全的。

Valley Springs High School is a beacon， sitting proudly on a prominent corner of campus， representing the community's historic commitment to education. The translucent glow on the exterior of the library is stationed by the contrasting computer lap mass above and these two volumes craft a new identity for the district as the mass volume of highway traffic now has a scholastic landmark. The glowing library serves as a reminder of the former greenhouse that was once a visual marker on this site for thousands of sunsets.

The grand entry pays homage to the historic stone architecture on campus as students flow into the building between the light polycarbonate panels and massive gabion walls. The gabion baskets contain hand-placed limestone from a local quarry less than a mile from campus while the remainder of the building is clad in a maintenance-free metal panel. The metal panel profiles are randomized to create a unique rhythm that reinvigorates the mundane metal panel surface quality on a typical k-12 campus.

This two-story， 9-12th grade facility breathes life into the rural campus that has been vacant of major construction for 30 years. The second-story mass spans the stone and polycarbonate forms to cover the entry while the exterior spaces created from this move become an outdoor science lab and a future green roof. These two exterior spaces provide elevated views back to the campus and spark energy for learning with the expectation of experiments and agricultural exploration. The exterior design moves are concentrated and simplistic allowing for a powerful exterior experience while allowing for a high-quality interior experience throughout， with custom fabricated details such as mascot signage and door pulls built by the architects own fabrication shop.

The interior spaces are a canvas for the education process with every room， including the janitors closet， washed in natural light. These modern yet raw interiors allow the steel structure to stand proud over the common spaces， library， and computer lab. The clean canvas is accented with natural wood tones to provide warmth and grab your attention when needed for building security， library checkout， and academic accolades. The wood slat forms are carved to create function and to accept the approaching students and visitors. The minimalist approach to detailing these forms is also captured with custom-designed HVAC grilles that remove the typical and ever cumbersome metal products. Valley Springs High School is a 21st-century school building， invigorating， desirable， and cutting edge for students; dignifying， comfortable， and secure for teachers.
