colour for trust, logic communication and efficiency) (yellow because it
represents creativity, friendliness, optimism, and confidence.

Seismic Adaptations
● Concrete mat as base to resist significant uplift forces that can develop from an
earthquake
● Concrete foundation
● Steel bars as a frame which run up inside the walls through the floors of each
story
● 50 Isolator systems that move the building side to side as a whole unit during
an earthquake to prevent damages
● Seismic activity detectors. These act as a early warning system. Some warning
is better than none.
Resources
● Skylights to allow for natural light and heating.
● Geothermal heating and cooling to reduce the schools use on resources
● Copper piping. Copper is corrosion resistant and will last at least 50 years if
properly maintained
● Filtered water fountain for clean drinking water
