When generating the Thunder Mountain Middle School concept, BLRB wanted the school to reflect the local communities and surrounding natural splendor. Based on the "school within a school" concept, BLRB designed three school "neighborhoods" with facades that mimic historic, well-known architectural locations within local towns. Clustered around the Library, spaces are linked via corridors or "streets" to the central core spaces or "town centers" to create a unified but unique school experience.

"Bringing the towns together gives the entire student body the opportunity to experience their overall community. This makes the school more than a building, but a representation of the surrounding communities." Keith@schooldesigner.com
