Built in a suburban area with a low construction density and population, now in the process of urban exploration and expansion, this 20-year-old school was renovated for people’s needs according to contemporary land use planning standards and new teaching and learning requirements of the inner city. With the philosophy of "students as the center," the proposed idea was to keep the existing building structure and use the steel frame structure covered with plastic wood on the rooftop to increase the height to 3 floors. Additionally built 2 new 4-story blocks on the west side.
